Overview

I help professionals seeking greater freedom and flexibility to ditch their desk and discover their destiny through full time travel. Whether working remotely, living nomadically, taking a gap year, or retiring, I help people understand how to get started and how to afford full time travel.

I love inspiring audiences to have the courage to pursue their dreams, challenge fear of the unknown, and be the best version of themselves.

What to expect

I come prepared - to teach, to inspire, and to laugh. Having performed stand-up comedy a few times, I enjoy making people laugh, but I really want to have them leave informed, and inspired to create and grow their dream business.

I like to know what your audience needs, am flexible and willing to find a business topic that is of interest to your group, and aspire to offer as much value as I can.

About

I'm a New York Times featured TEDx Speaker, Best Selling Author, Professional World Traveler and Full Time Travel and Business Coach. I quit my 25+ year career in corporate in 2017, before The Great Resignation, for a career break, that turned into a way of life. Since January 2018, I've been to 33 countries on 6 continents, including being marooned in New Zealand for two years during the pandemic.

Before living nomadically, I amassed 25 years of experience in sales, marketing and customer service experience with Fortune 500 companies. I speak 6 languages and am delighted to travel internationally for keynote talks.
