Why did you leave the USA to go to Europe right after your Divorce?
I had frequent flier miles, and I wanted to go someplace completely unfamiliar. I was actually saving them up for a trip with my wife that summer. I had enough miles for two coach class tickets, or one business class ticket to Europe! I needed a change of scenery, a real shock to the system.
I didn’t have any place to call home, so I used the opportunity to take the trip of a lifetime. I could’ve stayed in the United States, but I realized that my divorce was an opportunity to reinvent myself.
Instead of looking at my divorce as a total loss, I decided to create something positive out of the situation. I found myself with the time and means to travel and wanted to make the best of a tragic occurrence.
