How I Quit My Job to Travel the World

January 20, 2019/ Robin Finney

There are many travel influencers online who make the travel life seem like it happened overnight with instant success. While that may be the case for some, it was quite the opposite for me. In fact, it took me over a decade to get to this point. While it has been a dream of mine for nearly 15 years, it took me breaking through many barriers, limiting beliefs, old programming, and learning to overcome the voice in my head telling me I would never be able to do this.

Choose Your Word for the Year and Transform Your Life

January 14, 2019/ Robin Finney

Don’t be surprised when things start shifting in your life just by declaring your Word. Choosing your Word is like the Law of Attraction – the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. When you state your word or intention out loud, you are subconsciously carrying it with you wherever you go.

The Year of Bold Freedom and Unplanned Adventures

January 01, 2019/ Robin Finney

2018 has been one of the most challenging, epic, and rewarding years I’ve experienced in my 34 years of living. And when I declared it to be the Year of Bold Freedom, I had no idea how much these two powerful words would impact each step I took along the way. I took more chances than I’ve ever taken; said Yes! to more adventures in life; allowed myself time to reset, heal, and surrender; and discovered what it is to be a confident, daring, and bold woman.

Finding My Way in Torres Del Paine

December 07, 2018/ Robin Finney

There is a beauty to traveling on your own. You can stop as many times as you want to rest, eat, take pictures, meditate, etc. And while there were many times when I was missing my travel buddies, I knew this journey was meant to be on my own. It was just as much a spiritual, soul searching journey as it was one of fun and adventure.

Oxygen Masks and Flashlights

November 19, 2018/ Robin Finney

Ever since I started my nomadic journey 6 months ago, I have been struggling to listen and own what I need. I made myself wrong about not working or creating work. I ignored my need for rest and taking a break. I convinced myself that others were against me and waiting for me to fail, so they could tell me “I told you so.” I listened to others time and time again question how I’m doing this journey and offer advice on how I should be doing it.

I finally reached a point where I said, “ENOUGH!”

Lost (and Found) in Translation

October 30, 2018/ Robin Finney

I have run into some interesting occurrences throughout this journey. And Google Translate is not always my friend. It botches translations and is not always accurate. But it does help me more than if I did not have it.

Colombia placed me in challenging situations of being lost and not knowing how to find my way, to dealing with the frustration of not being able to connect with people I meet—simply because we do not speak each other’s language.

Tell the Truth, Even When It Hurts

October 18, 2018/ Robin Finney

As children, we all go through learning what it is to tell the truth and face consequences when we choose not to. It’s an innate fear that we go through as human beings. Something happens and we are afraid to own it. It’s easier to pretend or lie than to tell the truth. Cue the Full House music and Danny telling Michelle that if she had just come forward and said what she did, she wouldn’t have been in trouble.

Bad Hair Days & Second Chances

September 12, 2018/ Robin Finney

We are often quick to assess and judge people or experiences. And often times, it’s not the present YOU that is assessing the moment, but rather it’s your past. When you meet someone for the first time or visit a place (whether you realize it or not), your brain is quickly scanning the situation and connecting it to a past experience.
