I meditated in silence for 26 days.

hello everyone! after a long break away from social media, I am back to talk about my 26 day Vipassana silent meditation retreat. yes, you read that correctly: 26 days. I meditated 10+ hours daily for almost an entire month without having access to any electronic devices or the outside world.

where are you from? i'm british chinese, grew up in london and currently living in lisbon!!
what did you study and where? i studied classics for 4 years at oxford university & did a term abroad in rome at sapienza university
why did you move to lisbon alone? this video should explain things a bit more: https://youtu.be/QE7mqBOj1qw
how can you afford to travel so much? i choose to spend my money on travel and experiences & hope to show on this channel that not only can travel be a lot cheaper than you think, but that it's perfectly possible to work full-time whilst travelling! if i can do it, so can you :)
