From Great Resignation To Life Transformation – How To Afford Full Time Travel©

With more people quitting jobs to find more meaning in their work, or taking their work with them on the road, a new work culture is emerging. More and more people are giving up the desk, and trading it for world travel. The companies that allow their employees to work from anywhere, are more likely to retain them. Other people will join the gig economy as they enjoy a remote life.

This presentation teaches some of the core lessons I’ve learned about affording full time travel after 4 years on the road, including getting stuck in New Zealand and not going broke!

A blend of understanding the value that full time travel brings, and strategies to afford it, with, or without, a full-time job.

How To Get Started With Full Time Travel

In this training, Heather gives participants an overview of the core elements to consider when thinking about transitioning to the full time travel lifestyle.  

Topics covered include:

where to start when transitioning to the full time travel lifestyle
what to expect
how much the lifestyle costs
what to pack
and more!

Q&A is included at the end.

How To Stay Safe As A Female Solo Traveler

Solo travel is a growing market. Especially post pandemic, more and more people are traveling alone. One report suggest that as many as 60,000 women solo traveled between 2018 and 2019.

The biggest concern solo female travelers have is safety. This presentation teaches specific strategies to help women stay safe as they travel the world.

Resources, safety gadgets, and Q&A will be part of the discussion

It’s very important to me that my attendees have a professional and inspirational experience, and that’s what Heather delivered. It’s pretty rare to find a speaker that is not only entertaining, but also leaves the audience with a powerful message and the inspiration to take action. That’s what Heather did for us.

Heather is a fun, energetic speaker who connects to the audience in a super genuine way.

Heather is a fun, energetic speaker who connects to the audience in a super genuine way. She’s open about sharing her own story of going from bull to brilliant, and that’s very reassuring and confidence-inspiring. Her tips and talking points are very clear, she’s really articulate, and I loved how she used some playful props to keep everyone engaged and to clarify her main points. She’s also got a killer sense of humor, and since business and personal development can feel scary and serious, that is a big plus!
