Sean Ogle, founder of Location 180, blogged about ten reasons why one should “move to Asia to start [their] lifestyle business”. As an avid traveller, I have always yearned to go to Asia in hopes of developing both my character and my business skills. He conveys how Asia really is the place to go to intertwine business efforts with living a unique and exciting lifestyle. Living is inexpensive, the food is great, it is easy to travel to nearby countries, the networking is extremely international and diverse, and, most importantly, “every day is an adventure”.

To me, living an adventurous and diverse lifestyle is one of the most important influences to shape one’s character. It is easy to stay in the comfort of your own home, in the city where you grew up but easy is never the right answer. Discovering your values and who you are as a person will directly relate to your ethics and attitude in the business world. Travelling to Asia would not only allow me to form life-long connections, but would also push me out of my comfort zone – something that is crucial to self development. With Asia’s rapidly developing industries, it seems like a fantastic place to explore.
