How Did I Start?
Hi everyone! My name is Skye, and my journey began when I decided to leave the corporate world and start my own business. In May 2020, I founded a startup - fast forward a year later, and said startup was accepted to an incubator program in Paris! I quickly packed my bags, and made my way to the city of love.
Although I speak French, I found it challenging to truly find connection in Paris. My soul missed nature immensely, and I knew I needed a change. After a year of living in Paris, I decided to move to Crete, Greece, where I spent two months.
It would be a lie to tell you I loved my time in Crete. I was constantly anxious, battling depression and was really unsure what I wanted out of life. I got a therapist (yay, therapy!) and really started to take control of my life again.
I asked myself the question, 'When have I felt most alive?"
In asking this question, I realized I feel most alive when I'm traveling, in nature, surrounded by community, and truly living for myself, doing the things I love, all on my own agenda.
I didn't have the budget to travel full-time, so I turned to a program called Worldpackers.
I started volunteering in hostels, retreat centers, and bed and breakfasts around the world. Worldpackers has allowed me to experience new cultures, meet amazing people, and explore some of the most beautiful destinations on the planet while also being able to afford my travels.
Now, I'm following my passion of truly living. To me, this means embracing travel, human connection, yoga, meditation, scuba diving, and everything in between. I'm on a mission to discover everything this life has to offer, one adventure at a time.
I encourage you to ask yourself a couple of questions question...What does your dream life look like, and what steps can you take to make it a reality?
My Story
The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
I was working at a marketing tech company in the United States of America, and got laid off. I decided I wanted more out of my career, and I started my first company. I had no idea what the future held, but I was excited at the possibilities that so often lie in the unknown.
After my first company was accepted into a startup program in Paris, France, I made the decision to leave the US and embark on a new adventure in Paris!
Although I was living in Paris, I didn’t feel fulfilled. I wanted more out of life – even with weekend trips and frequent international travel, I wasn’t satisfied. I found myself longing for a riskier adventure. An adventure where I leave everything in discovery of understanding what it is to be a human.
I’m incredibly fortunate to now be able to travel full-time, while working remotely and living rent-free by volunteering around the world. My goal is to inspire others to live their dreams, whatever they may be! A fuller life is waiting for you, you just have to take the first step towards it.
