In 2010, inspired by designer Stefan Sagmeister—who took a sabbatical in Bali and is an avid advocate of taking time off—I decided to leave New York City and embark upon a one-year adventure.

The plan of taking a year off to explore bits of four continents, turned into a lifestyle. I was hooked.
Taking a sabbatical should be on everyone's “things to do before I die” list.

Today, I split my time between Bali, New York, and Mexico City. I run a pop-up interactive design studio, produce TEDxUbud once a year, and hopefully will inspire a few of you to take time off.
