In 2024, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/omar.nok\/?hl=en\" style=\"\">Nok<\/a> announced he was headed from Egypt to Japan, a feat that took the internet by storm, earning him fame and over 600k followers on Instagram. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>You\u2019d think someone who trekked through Asia on foot would need a break<\/strong>, but Nok simply yearned for a greater adventure. He would go from Egypt\u2026 to Egypt \u2014 a circular journey around the world, once more without flight. We caught up with Nok just as he safely docked in the Caribbean to ask: How do you do it? <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Before taking the world by storm, Nok worked with numbers, until the pandemic showed him that life was too short to be confined to spreadsheets and an office desk<\/strong> \u2014 no matter how great the view. If you\u2019ve been looking for a similar escape, and you\u2019re not so sure how you can do it, here\u2019s what Nok has to say\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>How has this trip been so far? What are some new challenges you\u2019ve faced compared to your Egypt-to-Japan journey?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Omar Nok: The journey has been good; it\u2019s been similar and different in a way. <\/strong>Similar, of course, in style \u2014 that I am camping, with my backpack and all, and the spirit of the journey is the same. Different in terms of the things I am facing, because there is a lot of water. This is a new challenge compared to the Egypt-to-Japan journey because that route mostly involved me crossing Asia overland. This challenge involves me crossing two oceans. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So, the challenge was to find a sailboat<\/strong>, find people I click with who would agree to take a crew member they don\u2019t know, and help me with the crossing. The crossing itself was obviously challenging.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Could you tell us more about your career prior to traveling the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: I was a financial analyst. <\/strong>I studied economics and finance, and then I worked at Amazon. I started as an intern, then junior financial analyst, financial analyst, senior financial analyst \u2014 five-and-a-half years in total. I also worked in Luxembourg for three-and-a-half years and in Munich for two. I was responsible for the company\u2019s external financial reporting to any external entity \u2014 that could be central banks, tax authorities, auditors, EU institutions, statistics offices \u2014 in many countries in Europe. That\u2019s the overall big picture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Most professionals see a career gap as a liability. How did you mentally frame this travel sabbatical?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: For me, it was a mental reframe. <\/strong>My job was about numbers all day, every day. And I like numbers \u2014 I love numbers, and I\u2019m good with numbers. So, I didn't have a problem at all with the job itself, but I wanted to travel. I took a three-month sabbatical first, and after that, I quit. Those three months were like a testing period for me. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I did it first because I wanted to see: Would I miss the routine?<\/strong> Would I get tired after three months? Would I be satisfied and content with three months of travel and then go back? So, I took it step by step. I realized that this is something I want to do longer term, more than three months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And for me, honestly, there was a bit of \u2014 I don\u2019t want to call it burnout. <\/strong>I had just moved to Munich during Covid. I was in a new city, by myself at home for a year and a half or two years, doing nothing but working, and in my spare time, I would stay at home because everything was closed. It took a toll on me. At that time, I needed a break. It all came together. That\u2019s how I looked at it from a career perspective \u2014 as something I needed because I felt my energy levels were dropping in terms of work. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: When you decided to leave, how did you ensure you left on terms that would allow you to return to the corporate world if you ever chose to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: I wasn\u2019t worried because I\u2019m good at what I do.<\/strong> Other than that, I had very good relationships with the people I worked with, because I believe in being friends with the people you spend most of your days with. I thought: Let\u2019s say I take a sabbatical year and want to come back. I didn\u2019t feel there would be any barrier to me potentially returning or making it work somehow. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: How do you go about budgeting for your travels?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: Trial and error. <\/strong>When my trips started getting a bit longer, I would check how much I was spending in total, divided by the number of days, to get the average daily cost on the road. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In terms of budgeting, I have a savings account and a spending account.<\/strong> I can\u2019t spend from the savings account. What I do is that every month \u2014 I have a maximum monthly budget \u2014 I transfer from savings to spending. I treat it like a salary; it\u2019s an automatic monthly transfer. So, it\u2019s possible that if I spend less than the budget for two or three months, some savings accumulate. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E:<\/strong> <strong>How can professionals experience the world without triggering a damaging break from the workforce?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: <\/strong>Use the PTO stacking or micro-sabbaticals that are allowed by the company. Of course, every company has its own policy and sabbatical length they allow, if they allow it. This is how you do it without actually quitting work. I don\u2019t think a break from the workforce equals a damaging break, though. I might slightly disagree with that statement. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Is it actually possible to maintain a high-pressure corporate job while traveling overland, or does travel require a complete disconnect to be meaningful?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: It can be meaningful without being a complete disconnect.<\/strong> I\u2019ve seen many different types of people working different jobs online \u2014 digital nomads. Depending on the job and the person, for some people, I see it adds a bit of stress to them, and for some people, they have found the perfect balance. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It comes down to trial and error until someone finds the right balance that works for them.<\/strong> Of course, many things need to be taken into consideration, like where the person is traveling. Sometimes people need to be connected with people in a different time zone, and some people just go about their own thing; they don\u2019t need meetings or calls, so there\u2019s no time zone impact. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: What is the one insight about the global economy or state of the world you\u2019ve gained from the ground that you never would have seen from an office?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ON: <\/strong>What I learned \u2014 this is the mindset that started to develop in me \u2014 is that I don\u2019t know anything about a place before I go there. Whatever I hear from the news or from an office, I cannot know how life works there, how people are there, or how their society works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before taking the world by storm, Nok worked with numbers, until the pandemic showed him that life was too short to be confined to spreadsheets<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":694818,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9774],"tags":[7419,633,1546,234],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-694817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel","tag-culture","tag-enterprisepm","tag-lifestyle","tag-travel","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"82c972d4-81bc-4e93-bad6-5f0c96aea9ba","order":"3","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/4\/882.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"This Egyptian traveler chose the world over the view from his office","related_issue":[694812],"teaser":"Before taking the world by storm, Nok worked with numbers, until the pandemic showed him that life was too short to be confined to spreadsheets"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
