Bec, 30
After graduating Law School, Bec switched tracks to pursue an acting career. Now juggling auditions, shows and running her own performance studio for kids, Bec's busy schedule doesn't leave much time to travel. Far from home on her first small group adventure, she opened up to new cultures and possibilities. Even as an actor, nothing gets you quite out of your comfort zone like laughing in a town square with a hundred chuckling strangers.
This was the beginning of something new – something she never expected to find.
