Breaking Cycles
The idea of Breaking Cycles is simple: no matter our culture, religion, or background, we’re taught to follow certain patterns.
Breaking Cycles isn’t just a travel channel. It’s about breaking free from the cycle of comfort, security, expectations and choosing to chase something more meaningful.
I’m Cy, the creator behind Breaking Cycles.
On July 1st, 2024, I left my corporate job, packed my life into a Land Rover Defender, and began driving from Hong Kong across Central Asia, Europe, Africa and the Arctic Circle, over 60,000 km and 27 countries so far.
Here I share my journey:
• Life on the road and what it really feels like
• The struggles and doubts that come with leaving stability behind
• Creating a business on the road to support artisans and tell their stories
This is not just about where I go, but what I learn along the way. If you’ve ever thought about chasing your own dream, I hope my story inspires you to take that first step.
