Ton, The Outgoing Navigator (Thoughts from the blogger)
A navigator is basically a pathfinder. All of us are "navigators" in a sense that we continuously “navigate” throughout the course of our lives so we can redefine our purpose. Goals are accomplished because of the precise direction that was followed to achieved it.
Outgoing is simply being friendly. It's a jolly trait that brings out the character of a person. I'm really shy in nature but travelling alone has taught me to become more warm and sociable.
I am a navigator...and becoming an outgoing person is something that I have learned to develop as I interact with people when I travel. The Outgoing Navigator is a way for me to look things into a different perspective, to have a meaningful connection to people and share my thoughts on my journeys.
