I never had any desire to go visit Los Angeles due to its reputation for bad traffic and superficial culture.
I thought if one day I want to go see L.A. for myself, I should go with a bunch of cool people such as the Delivering Happiness team. 🙂
A big thank you to DH team for choosing me to join the tour for 3 days 2 nights.
Before joining the tour, as an introverted person, I felt a little nervous because I knew there will be many social events where I have to meet new people. I usually avoid any unnecessary situations where I have to make meaningless small talks. I can be professionally extroverted, but that could be painful at times.
Also, English is not my native language, so it’s kinda adding more salt to my wound. 😛
Having said that, I always try to push myself to step out of my comfort zone in order to grow.
It usually takes a long time for me to open up to anyone new, but surprisingly DH team makes me feel at home. When I am comfortable with myself, then I am able to build relationships. I feel like I can talk to them just about anything. I adore DH team – it’s dysfunctional at times, and yet it’s still functional (just like me :)) Planning for 23 cities tour is no easy task. I genuinely admire the strength of DH team. There’s a sense of family and a strong support system that keep them going.
Two personal core values that I hold dearly to are simplicity and authenticity. I hope DH team was able to see the real me and have enjoyed my short stay.
Here’s a short video on Day 1 that I edited.
(I had a hard time rendering .MOV video clips today. I am too tired to figure out tonight, so please excuse the low video quality. :))
