016 | Pivoting to Adapt to a COVID Gap Year w/ Noémie Clemons
So far on her gap year, Noémie Clemons has become a certified yoga teacher and ski instructor, taken a business course, and gotten a job at a bakery... and none of this was in her original gap year plan. Noémie is such a wonderfully positive person and I loved talking to her about how, after her impressive travel plans were shattered by the pandemic, she picked up the pieces to design a new gap year that was just as rewarding and fulfilling.
