Solo Travel, Digital Nomad Life & Global Stories That Connect Us
For years, I worked in the global talent relocation industry, creating educational content and telling stories about what it takes to live and work in new cultures. But after a rewarding career helping organizations, employees, and their families navigate their new lives, I realized something: I wanted to stop writing about other people’s adventures and start having some of my own.
The truth was, the demands of my busy corporate life had started to cost me my passions, my creativity, and my sense of fulfillment. The world was moving too fast and I could feel time passing me by. If I didn't make a change I knew I'd spend my life waiting instead of truly living.
So after a non-performance-related, company-wide layoff, I made the choice to take the leap. I became a consultant, sold my home, downsized into two suitcases, and set out to travel the world solo as a digital nomad.
Did I give up a lot? Definitely. But what I gained (freedom, creativity, and a renewed sense of purpose) has made me fall completely in love with the world, my work, and my life again.
These days, I document my journey in real time, sharing the good parts, the tough parts, and the cultural experiences that make traveling so meaningful. Whether I’m nomading abroad or in the U.S. where I grew up, what I’ve learned along the way is that the world opens up when we do—and has so much to teach us if we slow down and explore it with curiosity and a willingness to be changed.
I hope you’ll come along on my journey. I’d love the company!
