I help professionals seeking greater freedom and flexibility to ditch their desk and discover their destiny through full time travel. Whether working remotely, living nomadically, taking a gap year, or retiring, I help people understand how to get started and how to afford full time travel.
I love inspiring audiences to have the courage to pursue their dreams, challenge fear of the unknown, and be the best version of themselves.
Heather's expertise, preparedness and overall approach to business was not lost on our agents. Everyone walked away with a better sense of direction and will definitely be using her services in the future.
Thanks, Heather!

I come prepared - to teach, to inspire, and to laugh. Having performed stand-up comedy a few times, I enjoy making people laugh, but I really want to have them leave informed, and inspired to create and grow their dream business.
I like to know what your audience needs, am flexible and willing to find a business topic that is of interest to your group, and aspire to offer as much value as I can.
I'm a New York Times featured TEDx Speaker, Best Selling Author, Professional World Traveler and Full Time Travel and Business Coach. I quit my 25+ year career in corporate in 2017, before The Great Resignation, for a career break, that turned into a way of life. Since January 2018, I've been to 33 countries on 6 continents, including being marooned in New Zealand for two years during the pandemic.
Before living nomadically, I amassed 25 years of experience in sales, marketing and customer service experience with Fortune 500 companies. I speak 6 languages and am delighted to travel internationally for keynote talks.
