Go All In

This April, I’m offering an experience that I have long wanted to create.

For the past 10 years, my businesses have blended travel with personal growth, fused cultural immersion with education, and combined adventure with relaxation. I’ve partnered with elephant rehab centers, worked alongside sea turtle conservation non-profits, and worked with local community schools around the world. I’ve both co-founded a company in Australia, and for the last 5 years, have gone solo to build my current business from the ground up while living in Nicaragua.

I’ve survived business failures (shifting from a losing mentality to a learning mentality), have overcome economic struggles (rising from flat broke to profitable), and professionally survived a pandemic (owning a business in travel while borders closed down).

It has not been easy.

There were days when I questioned my direction. Days when overwhelm from feeling uncertainty in my choices literally brought me to tears on the floor. Days where the business mechanics I needed to nurture my business seemed miles beyond my skillset.

There have been days where I wondered if growing a successful and thriving business was something I was truly capable of.

Those thoughts were terrifying and often kept me awake at night.
