Every wardrobe has its staple, as does every life its narrative. For many, it's a relentless pursuit of more. For others, it's about seeking an escape. But for a select few, listening intently to that inner voice can lead to a discovery of a truer, more enriching life. We speak to Krystal Tan, Co-Founder of Blue Sky Escapes, as she shares about her adventure of a lifetime.
It was the beginning of a career that would be the envy of most: Krystal spent her twenties as a corporate M&A lawyer, where the days were long and the breaks were few. While her career flourished, the moments she treasured most were those of escape. "Each break from work," she recounts, "I sought the unexplored, places where WiFi waned and the essence of life was raw and untamed. I soon realised, however, that those journeys were not so much escapes from life but rather, a means to discover a truer life.”
These bloomed from mere vacations to revelations: windows into a world more profound than the confines of her corporate desk. Her thirst for authentic experiences together with her partner-in-crime, Chervin, led her to go on ‘yet another’ bucket list trip, but returned with an unexpected business alliance formed in the wildest of terrains; there, the seed was planted and has bloomed into her now eight year old company, Blue Sky Escapes. But perhaps more importantly, it would mark only the beginning of her journey of self-discovery, daring to chase her passions, and savouring the simple, subliminal moments of every day.
