Kamal toyed with the idea of both law and med school after finishing his undergrad, but instead decided to take some time to backpack Asia and Europe (his trip lasted 8 months, the whole time spending <$3k)
- Kamal wrote about the trip in his novel – Rebirth, particularly the few weeks he spent walking the Camino de Santiago (a 550 mile pilgrimage across Spain)
- (“Rebirth” was actually originally titled “Into This Air”)
- “I was drunk every night” – There was LOTS of good wine along the way
