I believe that one of the best ways to learn a new skill is to completely immerse yourself in it.
To surround yourself with people who have achieved what you want to achieve, and to find a mentor who can guide you to get to your goals faster.
As a kid, I had a great passion for martial arts. I practised Tae Kwon Do for 3 years but at the age of 10, I wanted to take it further and decided to learn martial arts at the source...
And so, I embarked on a journey to the Shaolin Temple in Henan, China, where I spent an entire year learning Kung Fu. That year has taught me many things... about life, about work and about purpose.
On my blog I share how this crazy idea came about and 5 invaluable lessons I learned along the way:

I hope that my story may inspire you to dream bigger and do something a little bit crazy.
When I was 10, I had a dream. To live and train with the Shaolin monks for a year.
