Journey home with my duffel bag
“Tells the story of a man who was raised in a village but left to travel in search of his passion and establish his brand after experiencing problems in the social setting and failing to find employment there.
As he travels, he meets individuals who help him advance his career, see the world, and climb to the top, but he ultimately fails to achieve happiness.
Then he understands that his village, his home, is where he may find peace of mind and happiness.
At this point, he leaves with his duffel bag filled with treasure and returns to the community, where he finds contentment and serenity after sharing his experiences.”
