Nomadic Life

I’m too old to start publishing ‘on camera’ videos on TikTok. I’m 52. It’s not true of course. There are plenty of very successful older people on TikTok, it’s just my belief systems kicking in. I look in the mirror and think ‘who wants to see my wrinkly face and sagging jowls?‘ The chances are … Read more

I know more about online business than 90% of people. That sound incredibly arrogant and is 100% against my nature to say, or even think it, but (she says meekly) it’s probably true. Recently my husband and I were playing a card game called ‘The Ultimate Game for Couples‘ over a few cold ones at … Read more

Ever feel like your brain’s running a marathon you didn’t sign up for? You’re not alone. I used to jump into action without hesitation, a bit like my first (and only) bungy jump; an exhilarating free fall into the next adventure. But a few years back I felt a shift in my mindset. All of … Read more

Being a nomadic solopreneur can get lonely. The initial rush of working from anywhere in our PJ’s can quickly get old as we realise we’ve got no-one to chat about last night’s Apprentice results, or what’s happening with Janice from accounts tragic love sagas.

‘What would you do even if you knew that you might fail?’ This is a question asked in one of my favourite productivity books “Big Magic – Creative Living Beyond Fear” by Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of ‘Eat, Pray, Love’. It’s not a productivity book, per se. It’s a book about unleashing your creativity into … Read more

‘Honey, where are the passports?’ We’d just arrived at our hotel in Kuala Lumpur after a very long journey and my husband was holding out his hand for the passport wallet at the check-in desk. As my face drained of all colour I realised I’d left the wallet in the back of the taxi with … Read more

I looked up, breathing heavily. The 11kg bag on my back felt like the weight of 3 grown men & my knees were creaking with every step. The hotel looked fabulous in the pictures but nowhere had I seen, ‘must navigate 300 steps up extremely steep hill’ to get there! That was just the first … Read more

It was 10 pm and I was tired from travelling all day. As we walked through the ‘nothing to declare’ lane of the airport I headed straight for the sim card desk. A few minutes and 20 yen later, I fired up Google to work out how to get to our hotel ASAP. As a … Read more

Many years ago on a plane ride home from a fabulous couple of weeks relaxing in sunny Cyprus, I read the Four Hour Workweek. We’d just spent time with some friends who appeared to be ‘living the dream’ and had recommended the book. As I immersed myself in the pages and read it cover to … Read more

Many years ago I watched a video showing Frank Kern walking through his perfect day exercise. I remember him describing the bathroom and shower in his house that he’d written about in detail years earlier, and attributing much of his success to the intentions he created through this process. NB: I also found the whole … Read more
