I read back the journals I wrote while travelling, capturing my moments in words. They make me smile. While I was travelling, I met two types of people. People who thought I was much younger than I am and people who thought I was much older than I am. And I must say I surprised both groups. I was travelling from Singapore to Australia and just received a message with: "Good luck in Australia Doctor Kohli!" and boarded the airplane. I had an aisle seat next to an elderly couple, very sweet people. It was a night flight, I curled up in my seat, making myself very comfortable and when they thought I was sleeping, whispering the lady next to me said to her husband: "parents letting such a young girl fly alone" :D. I am happy with my young appearance acutally and they treated my like a fragile young girl haha, and hopefully my smile did not reveal, that this very young girl just got a message wishing her luck as a medical Doctor :). While when I give Talks or Lectures, people actually think I am closer to 30 before I start giving a talk. I don't like to list up all things I have done usually haha, but when they list it up in my intro, hmm, it is quite some yes. Then they listen to the Talk/lecture and after the Talk many people come up to me and ask: "How old are you actually Ma'm?" And all reactions made me smile. Mostly: "You are so young?" I was entering a casino (I don't like gambling, but it was a beautiful casino), no guard believed I was older than 18 :D! - So what is young and what is old and what is age actually? What fits a certain age? You are as young as you feel :)?
