Due to the downward turn in the economy I decided to leave my job as an estate agent and cease an opportunity to do something I had always wanted to do, go travelling in Australia for a year and see some of the world. I learnt a lot about myself through overcoming the challenges and situations that arose throughout my travels. I had 3 different jobs while I was away, two of which were based around my strongest skill, sales.
