From
Paul Kan in Koh Phangan, Thailand:
.
I am in the midst of an extended trip
through Asia and saw your article "Savvy Trekkers Map Out Routes to Career
Success," by Roger Collis (Aug. 17). I am 32, and, as you know, there are
a lot of us "younger" travelers out here. In January, I was laid off from my job
as a leveraged finance banker in New York and decided to take some time off.
Being without a job, but with some severance and savings, was an opportunity
that I had never really had. In school I had worked through most of my
vacations, and in nine years of work after school, I had yet to take an extended
break. Though I had always wished that I could pause to do things I dreamed, I
was too circumspect to break stride and actually do it.
.
For a few years now, I had wanted to
travel to China and throughout Asia. I had also wanted to spend more time on
my photography. Now I had a great opportunity to do both. Over
the last five months, I have been writing for a travel web site. Maybe some of
my fellow readers would be interested in visiting:
