Heather may have started the Great Resignation movement. In 2017, she quit her job to travel the world full time. Thus far, she’s been to six continents and 25 countries, enjoying adventures such as seeing the Big 5 in Africa, watching the sun rise and set over the Moai on Easter Island, ziplining in Costa Rica, drinking malbec in Mendoza, and getting stuck in New Zealand during the pandemic.

Heather is passionate about helping frustrated professionals who desire more meaning in their life to transition to full-time travel. She offers helpful tips via YouTube and via her Facebook group for Full Time Travelers and Nomads. She has found travel a great source of inspiration and creativity and loves inspiring others to find themselves through travel.
