About Me

Christened “Wander Woman” by National Geographic, I’ve lived as a digital nomad for more than 15 years, traveling to more than 130 countries across 7 continents.

My adventures have been highlighted in major media outlets, including Forbes, National Geographic, Entrepreneur magazine, Huffington Post, Thrive Global, Fox News, NPR, and the BBC.

Before striking out on my own and embracing a location-independent lifestyle, I had a 10-year career in global finance and an 8-year stint as a tech CEO. I now write the #1 ranked Nomad Life™ series of travel books and guides.
