Where the Great Go Team

From Vision to Reality
The world is a wonderful place filled with opportunities, just waiting to be captured. I truly believe that we are the creators of our own universe and it lies in our own hands to make the most of it. Even though it may seem easier to lay back and wait for life to happen, filled with excuses of why our visions would be impossible to execute, that is a pretty safe and secure road to unhappiness in the long run. Everyone of us has a voice deep within telling us what we actually want, how we would really want to live our lives. We are however masters of not only rejecting that voice but we also tend to bury it deep with layers and layers of excuses and mind garbage. I have been lucky enough to have had innumerous experiences that dragged me into a staring contest with that trash-monster, and it has led me to become deeply passionate with identifying the real challenges we face, what opportunities we want to capture and finally building the path from where we are to where we want to be. In the end, the jump we have to make can be scary - but so is the alternative!

Passionate about building the life of my dreams
And helping others to do the same! My love for travel began after a high school grad trip to Mexico which left me inspired to learn Spanish, study International Business and then figure out how I to make travel and lifestyle a key pillar of my life. Now I've been living, studying and working around the world for over 10 years. The next chapter has taken me and my bestie business partner to Bali! Looking forward to bringing value to our community!
