#156 - Elijah Savoury - Using Social Media PROPERLY & Maintaining Friendships while Traveling

Elijah Savoury has lived in three different countries, played basketball overseas, and pursued passions ranging from aviation to social media, he brings a unique perspective on what it means to explore opportunities, build connections, and stay grounded in the process. His story is one of curiosity, resilience, and chasing dreams that cross borders.

Travel has not only given him a broader outlook on the world but has also shaped his career aspirations. While he once considered medicine, he discovered his true calling in aviation, a path where he could be hands-on, independent, and pursue a fast-track program in Canada. Alongside flying, his international experiences have shown him the value of fellowship, the joy of surrounding yourself with good people no matter where you are. From representing Antigua on the basketball court to exploring breathtaking landscapes like Dominica’s jungles and waterfalls, travel has been both a passion and a teacher in his life.

Beyond the skies, he’s also fascinated by social media and its power to connect. What started as a curiosity turned into a real-world experiment when he grew an account to millions of views, learning both the highs and the strange weight of contributing to endless scrolling. Through these experiences, he’s gained a thoughtful perspective: while social media can create illusions of perfection, it also has the power to keep friendships alive across countries and continents. His approach emphasizes intentionality and authenticity in a digital space that often pushes the opposite.

Amid these pursuits, he has found ways to keep balance through a healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s hitting the gym, shooting hoops, or building habits like daily readings of Proverbs, he’s developed routines that strengthen both body and mind. For him, health is holistic a combination of physical activity, mental discipline, and spiritual grounding. These habits not only help him stay productive but also fuel the positive cycles that keep him motivated to chase ambitious goals.

In all, his journey reflects a life in motion flying planes, exploring countries, building digital communities, and nurturing personal growth. It’s a reminder that at any age, but especially at 20, it’s possible to pursue multiple passions and learn along the way. His story shows that with curiosity, discipline, and good people around you, the possibilities are limitless.

KEEP IT LONG TERM!
