This September, I fulfilled one of my dreams of studying meditation at the Kopan monastery in Nepal. I had this thought that I wanted to go for about two years, and finally, it came true.

It seemed that the universe just kept sending me signs that it was a good moment to go, so I did.
For me personally, gaining an integrative worldview and spiritual knowledge has always been a big life goal of mine.
