Ep14: Taking the Road Less Travelled By w/Ege Kardelen
Hello players, welcome to episode 14 of the Playticity podcast. Today I am interviewing my friend Ege Kardelen on his adventures travelling and living abroad.
Ege was born in Turkey, but grew up in Calgary from the age of 10. He decided to take the bold plunge of travelling to New Zealand at the young age of 24, and his life has never been the same since.
We talk about the lessons and challenges he has learned along the way, why we should take ourselves less seriously, and how you can make travelling/living/working abroad a possibility for you, if you so choose.
Enjoy!
