Ten years ago I (Michaela Potter) was on my first career break, which took me to Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam & Cambodia. Reflecting back on my journal, I realized that on this exact date at that time I was experiencing the majesty of the Himalaya Range during the Annapurna Circuit. Having made it over the Thorang Pass, we could enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mountains during our descent.

“What a spectacular view! We’ve had a lovely, no-wind hike this morning along the riverbed from Marpha and have stopped at the most beautiful spot for lunch. We are in an open meadow with surrounding fir trees and Dhaulagiri Mountain right in front of us. It doesn’t get more perfect than this.”

What were some of your “perfect” career break moments?
