    10 Things You Should Know Before Quitting Your Job To Travel The World

    October 30, 2025 / 20 Comments

    So, I’ve come home. I’ve returned to Portland, Oregon. The place I lived before I started my 3 year and 3 month journey around the world. During my journey, I visited most of the countries in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mexico (most based out of San Miguel de Allende), Guatemala, Costa Rica, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Greece, England, Scotland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Iceland. After three years, I realized that I was ready to find home again. While San Miguel de Allende, Mexico felt like a second home, I realized, it didn’t feel like my first home.

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
