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

      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,

          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

              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

              About Me

              Photo I'm Averi!
              I'm Averi!

              Bicycle Explorer. Curious Mind.

              I've known for awhile now I want to embark on a bike ride of epic proportions. I've known for even longer that I want to do something meaningful with life, something that really impacts people.

              So, where do I begin?

              1. Figure out what it takes to bicycle around the world - gear, routes, bicycles, etc.

              2. Spread happiness wherever I go.

              I'm not sure where exactly this will take me, but I do know this: I want to focus on the human experience - giving words to other people's stories & helping them in a way that benefits them, with no expectation of anything in return.

              I want to bicycle and ask one simple question of people: What's your bliss?

              This is my little project in this big world. Thank you for being a part of it.

              Never miss an adventure

              • Bariloche has some of the most accessible trails I’ve ever seen. And not just casual-stroll-through-the-neighborhood trails. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nope 👎🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Real mountain hikes with epic views and bright blue lakes. They are extremely well marked (very easy to do this on your own - perfect for solo travelers) and can all be found on barilochetrekking.com.You can sort by:* Distance* Difficulty* Duration (multi day or day hike)Then - and this is truly the best part - you can take PUBLIC BUSES right to the trail head, or very close by. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Write down that website and extend your stay in Bariloche, people! It’s more than a 1-day stop to get food and gear before heading further south in Patagonia.
              • I decided to take a rest from IG on a Friday, and then it turned into a long weekend and then a weeklong vacation. And then, when I looked up I noticed it had been a month. 😝😝 I’ve been traveling for me.  Discovering places without worrying about how they’ll look on a feed and getting my creativity back. I don’t like to talk about #bucketlist places because that word kind of makes me cringe a bit (idk why??), but I have to say Patagonia is damn close to one if there ever was. I’ve been reading travel memories and drooling over this place for almost a decade. And now here I am and it just didn’t feel right sulley my first view by having it be through an iPhone screen. Ya know? Plus, it was E-A-S-Y to not log into Instagram. Like, scary easy. I didn’t plan it. I got busy packing and prepping (and, you know, running a business) and then I just.....forgot. Sure, for a few days I missed it and I had fleeting thoughts here and there on a mountain top of which preset would look 💯. But then, like that on again off again relationship you finally left and never looked back on, I just forgot about it and realized my life is really damn great on it’s own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀So, here’s the update: I’m over here in Patagonia 🙋🏼‍♀️. Where the lakes are the bluest I’ve ever seen and the mountains 🏔 are just begging to be climbed. It took 2 weeks of prep, plus re-buying most my gear here (more on that coming soon), 1 month of travel, and a few side trips, and I still feel like I’m just dipping my toes in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀📸: @dani_gonzalez1217_
              • Lara Croft or Indiana Jones? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I love it when a place makes me feel like I’m somewhere right out of the movies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀One last photo of the Malacara Volcano 🌋 before I show you some other stuff I’ve been doing in Mendoza and Buenos Aires this summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••.....#argentina_ig #discoverargentina #hiking_my_life #girlswhohike #southamericatravel #solotravelers #malargüe #volcanmalacara #volcanoes #getoutstayout #earthpix
              • Summer livin’ ☀️ 🌊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I never considered myself a ‘surfer’ until I started traveling in South America and the grand majority of bodies of water here are pools. Which are wonderful, but calm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I do know there are some great places to go here, though! I’m just hanging out in the other parts 😝. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Until I catch my first South American wave (which is las olas, pronounced the same as “hola”, which I love), I miss those California beaches and the post surf tacos. But not just any taco. The ones @citytacossd makes. The way they’re supposed to be. The stuff dreams are made of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If you dream of tacos, that is. 🌮🤩
