What Is Your Dream?
Maybe you’ve wanted to quit your desk job to volunteer your time to a cause overseas or maybe you want to climb the 10 great peaks of the world. Whatever your dream is, what keeps you from chasing after it? or is it thinking about it that keeps you going?
Our guests today are Tay Siang Huy who goes by Tay and Xin Hui Tan, who goes by Val. They are award-winning filmmakers and storytellers, and are living example of dreamers who have cycled across the globe on a project called I Believe That Dreams Can Come True. They started the journey in 2010 and are now based in Seattle as they work through their plans to travel across the US.
