I’ve been writing about traveling one way or another in the last couple of months — or is it years?

But the truth is that I’ve been in the corporate world for the last 15 years. So even if my dream job was to do something along the lines of traveling and writing, my expertise is not there. To be honest, right now I don’t even know if there is an area where I’ve any kind of expertise.

That said, it’s known that companies are now focused on showing that they somehow care about their employees. In some cases mean a lot of training available.

A couple of years ago — lately all my articles say a couple of years ago, but let’s go back to this — I’ve done a course that was called “unconscious bias”. In the meantime, I’ve done something similar on the next 2 companies that I worked for. And believe it or not, it’s a theme that started to interest me in a way that is probably the only e-learning mandatory course that I’m able to keep the focus on. You guys know, that for these mandatory e-learnings it’s rare to find someone that actually does it, it normally only plays in the background.

I also ended up seeing this training as something that could be easily adapted to the traveling theme.
