✨ 2024: A Near Ending Turned Beginning ✨ 2024 year was a turning point in my life. I survived one of the most traumatic accidents—an event so rare it occurs in only 1% of orthopedic cases worldwide. Behind the scars and struggles, I discovered a strength I never knew I had and a recovery journey that even shocked my own medical team. I had to explore unfathomable depths of darkness alone but luckily, my family stood by me, their support lighting my path. Whilst I was victimized, I refuse to stay a victim of the circumstances. We all will be dealt unexpected deck of cards at some point I'm just learning to play and work with the deck I have sooner. Overall, this experience gave me a renewed sense of purpose and urgency—to live fully. While I'm still making peace out of the pieces, today, every step I take is a gift I’ll never take for granted. I am a walking miracle and this will forever be my biggest accomplishment in life. However in 2024: ✈️ Some said I'd never walk again, so I walked the Great Wall of China 🇨🇳 🏆 A community I founded NYCWCC #NYCWCC Earned a nomination for Top Community for Women in Tech in NYC 🏆I earned a prestigious nomination for the #Trailblazer award at my company 🎤 I spoke on prestigious forums on using AI for autonomous vehicles in Hong Kong. 🎤 I brought employees together in reflection and dance during #LatinoHeritageMonth 💻 I built community at AFROTECH hosting the first #remoteworkers event with Afro Adventurer, blending my love of technology, community, and culture. 🌍 Traveled to my maternal lands in Peru and met family for the first time. I also connected with global communities from NYC to Bali, to Malaysia and beyond. But beyond the milestones, this year was about transformation: 🌟 I turned devastation into triumph, channeling my personal journey into impactful contributions. 🌟 I poured into my community and watched them pour into themselves and each other, showing me that adversity can fuel purpose and impact 🌟 I embarked on a solo travel expedition post-accident thousands of miles away from home traveling to 4 Asian countries, proving that life after adversity can be beautiful. After a near-paralyzing accident, I was told I might not walk, let alone travel. But here I am, defied medical odds, living with urgency, and embracing life as the #AfroLatinaAdventurer. Every step I take is a reminder of my strength, resilience, and the power of living boldly. To anyone doubting their ability to overcome the impossible: You are stronger than you think. 🍾 Here’s to resilience, purpose, and the journey ahead.

🎉 As the clock strikes midnight and we step into 2025, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve had over the past year. I can’t help but think back to the local marathon I ran with a few friends. Somewhere around in the middle, with tired legs and the finish line still a distant thought, I found myself reflecting on how much the journey mirrors life and work. It’s not just about the destination—it’s about the people running beside you, the moments you push through together, and the satisfaction of crossing milestones along the way. 2024 felt a lot like that marathon. There were moments when the pace was steady, moments when the challenges tested our endurance, and then those highs—the finish lines we celebrated as a team. Whether it was late-night brainstorming sessions, bringing ideas to life, or simply connecting with the incredible people who’ve been part of this journey, every step mattered. As we turn the page to 2025, I feel energized and ready for the miles ahead. There’s so much to look forward to—new opportunities to explore, connections to deepen, and challenges to tackle. What excites me most is doing all of it alongside the people who make the journey worthwhile. Here’s to a year of resilience, collaboration, and shared victories. Wishing you all a Happy New Year filled with meaningful moments and endless possibilities.🎇 🌟Let’s make 2025 a race worth remembering!🌟🥂 #HappyNewYear #NewYear #Celebration #FreshStart #SharedSuccess #BuildingTogether

Closing the First Year of Global Career 🌍 As we wrap up our first year at Global Career, I find myself reflecting on what has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging, rewarding, and transformative years of my life. The journey has been a whirlwind—a rollercoaster of emotions filled with happiness, tears and excitement. While the daily grind often leaves little room to pause and reflect, sitting here in Denmark now offers the perfect moment to look back with a sense of nostalgia and pride. In just one year, Global Career has grown beyond what I could have imagined. I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built. We’ve created a company with a mission to help people find jobs abroad that bring them joy, open doors to new cultures, and make it easier to live, work, and explore the world. Knowing that we’re enabling others to chase their dreams abroad is a source of immense pride and motivation 🌟 But it’s not just about the business—it’s about the life we’re building along with it. We’ve crafted a way of working that lets us travel, discover new places, and stay connected with loved ones, even when separated by borders. At the end of the day, this balance—between work, passion, and family—is what matters most to me. Looking ahead, 2025 is already shaping up to be an incredible year, full of opportunities and exciting projects. I’m brimming with optimism and can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next. A heartfelt thank you ❤️ to everyone who has supported us along the way—from colleagues to friends and family. Your belief in us has meant the world and has been the foundation of our success. “Thank you” feels too small a word to truly express my gratitude 🙏 Wishing you all a joyful and prosperous New Year. Here’s to the adventures that await in 2025!

Hallo zusammen! 🌟 Reflecting on 2024: From India to Germany, A Year of Growth and Resilience 💪 2024 was a rollercoaster 🎢 of emotions and challenges. The year began with months of stress and uncertainty, waiting for my visa and questioning my path. Coming from a middle-class family with big dreams but bound by responsibilities, the journey from India to Germany wasn’t easy. 🌍 Who said studies are only for your 20s? 📚 I challenged myself to pursue a double master’s degree in my early 30s, and here I am! 💼 Nothing is easy, but if you aim for it, one step at a time is the mantra. 🧗♀️ Landing in Germany was a dream come true ✨, but it came with hurdles—adapting to a new culture, learning a language 🗣️, braving the weather ❄️, and balancing studies. Part-time work tested my limits, with moments of pain and loneliness, often making me question my decision to leave a comfortable job and life behind. Yet, looking back, I’m PROUD. 🙌 Living abroad had been my dream for years, and I’m happy to have explored it. 💭 It taught me resilience, independence, and how to face challenges head-on. As I step into 2025, I’m hopeful and excited to see the outcomes of my efforts. 🌈 To everyone out there—leave behind the fear of what others might think. 💡 Drive yourself toward your passion. 💖 Trying and failing is better than not trying and regretting. Create your own stories to cherish and be proud of! 🌟 More power to me ✨ and to everyone chasing their dreams with courage. Let’s keep moving forward! 🚀 #HalloZusammen #Reflections #FromIndiaToGermany #DreamBig #NeverTooLate #OneStepAtATime #GrowthJourney #Resilience #CourageToDream #Motivation #2024Recap #Hello2025 #ChaseYourDreams

🚀 A year of growth, learning, and exploration 🌍 2024 has been a year filled with challenges, lessons, and achievements. Throughout this time, I’ve had the opportunity to advance within my company, taking on new responsibilities and facing international projects that have allowed me to broaden my professional horizons. 🌏📈 One of the most fascinating aspects of this year has been the opportunity to work with clients from different parts of the world. Every interaction has taught me to understand the diverse ways of doing business and how different cultures enrich the way we work and solve problems. 🌐🤝 In addition, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to 10 different countries, immersing myself in new cultures, understanding their dynamics, and enriching my personal and professional perspective. For me, working globally and exploring new cultures is one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences. 🌍✈️ Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited about the new projects and challenges that lie ahead. Continuing to learn, collaborate, and grow with professionals from around the world is what motivates me to keep moving forward. 💬 What about you? What’s been the most significant part of your year? I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments. #ProfessionalGrowth #GlobalWork #ExploreCultures #PersonalDevelopment #Challenges2024

What really makes a year feel meaningful? It’s easy to measure success by #milestones — #projects completed, goals achieved, or #challenges overcome. And sure, those things matter. But when I think about what truly shaped this year, it wasn’t the deadlines or the tasks. It was something extraordinary. It was the #people. The #conversations that left me thinking for days. The #colleague who checked in when things felt overwhelming. The #students whose curiosity sparked new ideas. The #family. This realization reminded me of something I recently read in The Good Life: The quality of our relationships is the single biggest predictor of happiness. Not income, not titles, not accomplishments—relationships. That insight hit me hard because, like many of us, I often get so caught up in “what’s next” that I forget to pause and nurture the connections that matter most. But this year was different. 2024 challenged me to slow down and focus on the people around me: 🌟 Reconnecting with colleagues and partners, not just as professionals, but as people. 🌍 Spending time with students, not just teaching them, but learning from them. ❤️ Making room for family and friends, even during the busiest weeks, and realizing how much those moments recharged me. Looking back, I can honestly say those relationships shaped my year far more than any deadline or achievement ever could. 💬 Our work matters, but it’s the people we share the journey with who make it meaningful. At the end of the day—or the end of the year—our relationships are what we’ll remember most. Wishing you a new year filled with connection, purpose, and moments that truly matter. Here’s to 2025! 🥂 Warm regards from the stunningly cold landscape of #Blidinje in #BosniaandHerzegovina #2024Reflection #TheGoodLife #RelationshipsMatter #Happiness #Gratitude #NewYear2025
