Travelling alone can be dangerous, lonely and very intimidating. Rizza shares her story about the time she took on this challenge. She highlights the challenges, the lows, and highs and explains why everybody should embark on such an adventure at least once in their life Rizza Licayan’s “quit your job, book a ticket, travel abroad, never look back” story is different
from other travelers out there. She owns a powerless passport; she didn’t have the
opportunities, so she created them for herself.
She quit her corporate job as an Audit Analyst in the Philippines and traveled abroad in
2018, juggling different gigs to quench her thirst for adventures and to see that there’s an entire
world out there waiting for the brave.
As a writer and a travel enthusiast known for her passions for the great outdoors and solo
traveling, Rizza hopes to inspire others in their journey to self-growth by chasing their
curiosities, stepping outside the comfort zone, and living life on their terms.
She eventually found a piece of home in Oslo after a few years of moving around. She’s living proof that there’s that balance between stability and a life full of
adventures and that your life circumstances shouldn’t be a hindrance from going after your
dreams. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
