Are a pitch and a proposal the same thing? Due to my experience writing proposals and my done-for-you pitch boss service package, I get asked this question, a lot. And typically, I say no, a pitch and a proposal are not the same. They are, however, two parts of a clear new client sales funnel. What…
Having lived abroad as a digital nomad now for over seven years, I can tell you that this lifestyle isn’t always as sexy as it appears to be. You get lonely. After all, traveling the world by yourself or even with a partner or a friend doesn’t replace the type of community and fellowship you can have…

As I prepare to embark on this journey, I have had many questions relating to my exact plan and itinerary, as a lot of you have expressed interest in meeting up with me during my travels. I thought I would take the time in between now and my departure to Tahoe to lay out my…
My first week of official digital nomad life has been a bit of a whirlwind. After 2 days and 15 hours of driving from Seattle to Tahoe, CA, I had three days to explore my new town before taking off to Denver, Colorado to ski Vail and Breckenridge and explore Denver. After 6 days in…

I was speaking with a dear friend today about her future. She was talking about how she will be up for a promotion soon at her job, and she’d be making nearly double what she makes now. But she isn’t sure if she wants to take it. So I asked her, “does it fill your…
If I’m being honest, the winter here at Lake Tahoe has been monumentally disappointing so far. We’ve seen one storm since I arrived 5 weeks ago, and that snow has all but melted after a slew of balmy 50º days. Resorts are considering closing for the season, bars and restaurants are doing layoffs and cutting shifts,…
My dear friends, This past Wednesday I turned 27. If I’m being honest, it was a bittersweet day. If I’m being completely honest, it was mostly bitter. On Monday I lost one of my closest friends unexpectedly. It was the kind of call you never want to receive, a sobbing friend on the line telling…
Dear friends, On Monday, I got back from a 5 day trip to Seattle and Whistler, where 20 of some of my best friends went up for an extended weekend of skiing and general debauchery. Whistler Blackcomb is one of my favorite mountains, but conditions on our first day of skiing were less than ideal.…
My dear friends, This marks my final week in Tahoe before I drive back to Seattle for a few months. This Saturday, I take the 14 hour drive at once, and then wake up early on Sunday morning to fly out to Tel Aviv for a 2 week-long adventure with two of my best friends.…
My dear friends, How time flies. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last wrote in this thing. And what a year it’s been. I’ve been completely location independent for 14 months and traveled to 9 countries and 12 states. I’ve learned a lot during those 14 months, and I guess that’s why…
I still like blogging, publishing and writing on the web. But, I have seen it change so much from the early days when I began online in 1996. A lot of it is disappointing. Once we had free creative energy and the only rules were those we gave ourselves. There was no marketing, or SEO…
I’ve been coming across more sites which ask me to turn off ad block on my web browser. Most are keeping it friendly, like this request from Guardian (asking for financial support instead of support through ad views). That’s fair enough and I do understand. However… how about changing the ads to something I don’t…
I think back to the the anxiety I had the day I left to embark on my first travel adventure abroad. I had gone against my mother’s wishes and booked a solo ticket to Europe in hopes to feed the urge that had been burning inside me since graduation. Sure, the idea of travelling to…
Not too long ago I was gifted some lavender linen spray from my best friends mother. Initially I didn’t think I’d get much use out of it – but now its become a staple in my nighttime routine. Lavender has a ton of great benefits. It’s known to help induce sleep for those restless folks,…
Ah, September! One of my favourite months has arrived, and although I may not be going back to school I always tend to look at September as a time to reflect and re-evaluate my goals for the year. I have a confession to make.. yes a confession. You heard it here – I am fully…
There is a technique in real estate (and other sales related situations) to offer a buyer in order to create a sale. The buyer is fake. In real estate the technique is used to keep sellers on the hook, hoping for a nibbling buyer. So the real estate agent keeps (or renews) the listing. The…
Planning your first trip overseas can be daunting if you don’t know where to start. When planning my first trip, I was overwhelmed with all the tedious details I neglected to think about, which left me in a panic as my departure date got closer. That’s why I thought I would share some important tips…
Let’s be honest. We all want long, beautiful hair. Some of us are born with it naturally while others aren’t. I am one of those people that isn’t. I have tried a variety of different shampoos and hair masks that supposedly would make my hair thicker but without any luck. Then I realized that it…

Summer is almost over and we all know what that means: it is time to go back to school. Of course, it is different from country to country when they go back to school but I think that the most common time is somewhere in August. You might already have started school but it is…
Tofu. Probably one of the most discussed vegan foods out there. I feel like it is one of those foods that everyone thinks is the most disgusting thing until they learn how to use it in different types of recipes. I will admit that I too hated it in the beginning but I learned to…
