Most of my life, I’ve been running groups and helping people in customer service–type roles. I’ve always been good at supporting others, solving problems, and making things easier for the people around me. Last year, though, I had a quiet realization: somewhere along the way, I got so focused on helping everyone else that I forgot to help myself. People who know me would probably describe me as pretty happy-go-lucky. I don’t take life too seriously, and I usually try to keep things light. That’s part of who I am. But it also meant I didn’t always stop to ask whether I was moving in a direction that actually felt right. Travel has always been the thing that wakes me up. Not the flashy, checklist kind, but the kind where you’re somewhere new, surrounded by different rhythms, different conversations, different ways of living. Seeing a new place, experiencing another culture, or just sitting across from someone whose life looks nothing like mine gives me energy. It reminds me how big the world really is. That feeling: curiosity, excitement, possibility is what keeps pulling me forward. It’s why my goal is to travel full-time within the next year. Not to escape life, but to live it more fully. What matters to me now, especially when it comes to travel, is feeling steady instead of rushed. Not cramming everything in. Not proving anything. Just moving with intention and enjoying the experience as it unfolds. If any part of that sounds familiar, you’re probably why I built this space.

📌 Worth Pinning (Community Feature) We’re introducing a new ongoing community feature called Worth Pinning. It’s simple, intentional, and designed to highlight real contributions — not noise. 🗓️ First Round (Special Start) For this first time only, you’ll have 2 weeks to post something original related to travel, planning, or your travel mindset. After that, Worth Pinning becomes a monthly feature. 💡 What to Post Anything that helps others think more clearly about travel, such as: - A destination that keeps calling you (and why) - A hesitation or question you’re working through - A lesson from a past trip - A planning win, mistake, or realization - An honest question you wish someone would answer If it adds clarity, perspective, or momentum — it counts. 🏆 How Selection Works (Ongoing) This is not a like-based contest. Each month: - I’ll quietly observe posts throughout the month - I’m looking for clarity, usefulness, and contribution - During the first week of the following month: 💬 Bonus: Conversation Contributor Each month, I’ll also select one member who added value through thoughtful comments on others’ posts. They’ll receive the same worksheet, sent privately. Good conversations matter just as much as good posts. 🔎 What This Is (and Isn’t) - Not about likes - Not about posting the most - Not about being loud or polished It’s about sharing something that actually helps someone else think or decide. If nothing stands out in a given month, nothing gets pinned. That’s intentional. 🤝 Why We’re Doing This This community works best when members share ideas, experiences, and honest questions — not just consume content. Some of the most helpful insights come from members. This is a way to quietly highlight those. Post when it feels right. If it adds value, it’ll be seen.
