"If I am doing something meaningful, it will be meaningful in the future."

Chloe

Show notes

Chloe grew up traveling with her family and developed an early curiosity about how people live beyond Taiwan and what she could learn from other cultures.

A trip to China challenged her assumptions about cultural identity, while a month working in Cambodia gave her a closer look at the lives, families, and priorities of people she might never have met at home.

She explains what happened when the excitement of exploring Europe gave way to finding work, adapting to a new environment, and spending time alone in Paris.

We talk about loneliness and why Chloe does not try to eliminate it.

Chloe also shares why she believes you do not need to know exactly where a decision will lead, as long as what you are doing feels meaningful to you.
