Welcome to Passport & Purpose

Hey, curious soul! Welcome to Passport & Purpose, a blog capturing the moments and lessons I encounter on my journey around the world. This adventure isn’t just about travel — it’s about finding meaning, connection, and (most importantly) joy. Now, I’ll be the first to admit, this blog won’t be perfect. Like travel itself, this space will evolve over time, shaped by the places I visit and the people I meet.

I’m Michel, 26, and after a few years in the corporate world (you know, with its pros like stability and cons like... endless PowerPoints), I decided there’s got to be more to life. I mean, chasing promotions is great and all, but what about chasing joy? What about doing something that leaves a positive mark on the world? So, here I am, trading office life for the unknown.

Now, don’t expect this to be all sunshine and perfect travel days. I’m going to share the highs and the lows — the euphoria of a beautiful sunrise, the pangs of loneliness in unfamiliar places, and the days when doubt creeps in — but that’s what makes it real. This isn’t about ticking off tourist spots; it’s about exploring different ways of living, figuring out what truly matters, and maybe even inspiring you to do the same.

The route? Honestly, there isn’t one. No strict plan, no idea how long I’ll be out here — just going where the wind takes me. This journey could last months, or maybe years, who knows? I’ll stay when it feels right and move on when it doesn’t. It’s all about embracing the unknown and seeing where life leads.

If you’re curious to see where this journey takes me, stick around! You can subscribe to the newsletter, and new posts will magically appear in your inbox. Let’s see what this world has to teach us — about life, joy, and purpose!

See you around,
Michel
