The First Time I Ran Away From Home

    The First Time I Ran Away From Home

    Today is Thursday – Throwback Thursday (insert eye roll if you will) – so I thought I’d share a little gem about how I got into this life of travel and adventure sports. It was the day I decided to run away from home

    5 Things Travel Taught Me About Entrepreneurship (That College Didn’t)

      5 Things Travel Taught Me About Entrepreneurship (That College Didn’t)

      Running your own business is a bumpy road. It’s one of those things that people frequently want to do, but don’t quite know where to begin. They feel a little lost, and so they never quite take the leap. Let

        Leaning Trust from Strangers While Couchsurfing

        If you’ve never met me, then walking into my kitchen and seeing an unknown man in polka-dot sundress making breakfast for four might seem strange. If you do know me, then you know I host Couchsurfers, and you probably wouldn’t

          Meet the woman who wants to teach you how to be a digital nomad

          If I could describe a picture perfect example of a digital nomad, Anca would be that person. Running a successful business, traveling the world, taking lots of beach pictures – she meets all of the criteria. She just gets it and, fortunately, she

            The Time I Accidentally Deleted my Website

            You may have visited my website in the last month, just to find yourself at a big ERROR message. Yup, I did possibly one of the most panic-inducing things a website owner could do: accidentally delete my website. There I was,

              Eagle Mountain: A Desert Day Hike in Joshua Tree National Park

              I recently found myself with a day to spare and an urge to explore the desert. So, I loaded up the car with my weekend gear and favorite friends, and we headed to Joshua Tree National Park to see what

                Pedaling Across America

                Meet Tom. He’s a pretty badass entrepreneur with a major adventure traveling addiction and a mission to make a difference in the world. I recently had the chance to touch base with him right as he was beginning his Southern

                  Cold and Alone: Independence and the Kindness of Strangers

                  Brandi and I recently connected on Instagram, where she shared her story of the first solo travel she ever did. As a fellow freelance writer and nomad with an affinity for wood smoke and the open road, I knew we

                    So, you’re in Scotland, and you’ve already visited the sites in Edinburgh – even went to Loch Ness (read about the first half of our road trip here), Now you need to really get out of town, have a little more

                      A Road Trip in Scotland: The Highlands (Part 1)

                      An appropriate place for fairy tales and mystical stories, Scotland has been the backdrop for tales such as Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Skyfall and Game of Thrones. It’s a place where the greens are greener, the air is

                        Urban Camping: A San Diego Cycling Adventure

                        At the turn of the New Year, I declared 2016 the year of ‘doing.’ Of approaching life with a no hands-barred attitude. Instead of just talking about some great adventures, I’d be the one out there breathing the fresh air,

                          How About a Little…Time Travel?

                          Sometimes, your next big adventure isn’t any further than your local park. So when opportunity comes knocking, you should never turn down the chance get out and enjoy your own city. I’m a 90’s child and a big fan of

                              My New Book “Find Your Flow”

                              It’s great when you see the fruits of your labor come to fruition, and even better when it all culminates in one momentous day. So, when I heard that the book I helped pen was available on Amazon on Jan. 1, I

                                How to be a Nomad and Run a Business (Successfully)

                                I recently read an article saying it’s possible to run your business from a mountaintop. I’d love to say I’m doing that right now, but I just don’t see the benefit of toting a laptop up a mountain. However, I

                                  Don’t go to the Office Today – You’ll get more Done

                                  I’m writing this because a lot of people equate travel with vacation, or vagabonds, or broke backpackers (none of which are a bad thing, by the way), rather than something you can actually do while running a lucrative business. The

                                    Harness the Power of Travel in your Business

                                    I recently wrote an article about ditching your office for a day or week (or heck, why not forever?). I suggested some ways to get out of your day-to-day rut and inject some new creativity into your business by traveling

                                      Running Barefoot: A Healthy Traveler’s Reading List

                                      Luke the Couchsurfer came to me from the East coast…on bike. Let me say that again: he was bicycling across the United States by himself. (Another person who inspired my very own adventures). I felt terrible then, that the event

                                        A Lesson on Beginning

                                        I once had a drawing teacher that taught me a very important life lesson. Once all of us were in the room, with our charcoal sets at the ready, he told us to very carefully rip a new piece of
