Riza Fortuna

I am blessed to be paid to travel. My job takes me to several countries and allows me to meet people across cultures.

This week I am in Beijing. As always, God has prepared the place for me. Work has been fruitful, people of several nationalities I work with are fun to be with, and the weather has been great though it’s supposed to be winter this time.

Meeting people of different cultures and backgrounds never cease to amaze me. Though communication may be challenging at times considering the difference in first language, I have always been blessed to build meaningful relationships with both Asians and western souls alike.

Brings me back to how loved I am by my Creator. He knows what makes me happy - among them are interacting with people, being able to make a difference, and enjoying life’s little pleasures including good Chinese food and quiet personal time which I ironically get during my trips.

Praise be the God of all cultures!
