Who Am I?
In 2009 I sold 95% of my belongings leaping into full-time travel.
I was 49 years old, living in Silicon Valley, down the street from Steve Jobs, my own professional photography business for 29 years but I wanted more.
After taking 6 to 10 month trips for 3 years before I sold my stuff, volunteering worldwide, and teaching/shooting/writing while traveling I decided to launch myself into a location independent life.
Want to know the nitty gritty?
Here is my 5-book series on Traveling the World on Amazon with reviews:
Print, ebook, and audiobook available.
But in a nutshell: I started this lifestyle after a 20-year marriage, raising a cool son, and weathering 2 financial crashes in the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley where I lived for 29 years.
So it can be done.
You may be astonished that no matter where you are in life, you can start planning your strategy to change your life and travel the world.
