Part 1: The Mojo

184

one day while i was in Tokyo having drinks, i was invited on a trip.  i had no idea when, where, and with who.  of course i said yes.  when was the next day, where was a secluded island in Indonesia, and who was with elite businessmen.  i just had my backpack as we boarded a private jet, transferred to a seaplane, and landed in the water fronting one of the most luxurious resorts in the world.  the island was called “Mojo.”  in English, “Mojo” means “magic power,” so you could imagine the magic power i was feeling…

then a speedboat picked us up and shuttled us to this luxury yacht that was waiting for us!  wait?  this can’t be real…  the 7 days out at sea was some of the most memorable times in my life.  it felt like i entered a totally different world.  what i learned and the people i met on that trip changed my life 180 degrees.  and i am forever grateful for their generosity, kindness, and things they taught me…
