Marina, how did you get started travelling? MARINA: People often think that those who travel are running away from something. They're right. Age 24, I decided to run away from a dull job and a life that had grown stagnant. I set out to find something more though I had no idea what something more looked like. Next to a chance encounter, I met a woman in a café who had a humble sailboat and a dream of exploring the world. Against my better judgement, I decided on the spur of the moment to accept her spontaneous suggestion to join her (Q7) despite the fact that I've always had a morbid fear of deep water. INTERVIEWER: And you didn't regret it.
