This is where I am living now. I found it on Airbnb Sublets. It’s been five months since I gave up my apartment and I’ve found a new place to explore. This week, I moved to Baltimore, Maryland. I am renting a room in a Bolton Hill townhouse. It is a lovely neighborhood. I will be here until the spring, maybe [...]
This is my home right now. The women’s dorm at the Central YMCA in Honolulu. I’ve been living here almost two weeks. (Before this, I was staying in one of the lovely Westin hotels in Waikiki for a conference I was invited to speak at.) I can be in Hawaii for three weeks because I have nothing holding me back from doing so. I have no apartment, no mortgage, no “stuff” waiting for [...]

This is what I look like in Hawaii. How did I get here? A very nice client flew me and my co-author out to speak at their conference and I decided to stay on for three weeks. So far, it’s been an amazing time. I’ve been getting so much love from people here. It feels [...]
What happens after you give up your apartment to save money? Lots of things, apparently. Here’s a bit of what I’ve learned so far. So last night, I bid farewell to the room I’ve been renting for the last three months. For the next two weeks, I’ll be staying with my mom until I leave for Hawaii [...]
Travel is never a question of money, but of courage. – Paulo Coelho I know I said I was going to start going on extended world travel in 2012, but the universe has given me the opportunity to begin experimenting with that goal much sooner! Me and my co-author have been invited to speak at [...]
You’ve probably noticed me hinting around the blog and in the newsletter about my longtime goal of extended world travel. One of the items on my bucket list is to go on a trip to several countries for a few months versus the typical one-week vacation I give myself every year. Well, I’ve decided that [...]
One of the major areas of my life map that I wanted to improve upon this year was my health. (Finances was another big area, but I haven’t yet made enough progress there to report on. Baby steps!) I’ve always slacked off on eating fruits and vegetables as well as exercising – mostly because I [...]
I can’t believe I’ve made it to what’s now Day TWELVE of being on Kris Carr’s 21-day adventure cleanse from her book, Crazy Sexy Diet. I’m feeling so good at the midway point that I’ve decided to continue my vegetarian diet after the cleanse is over! I’d like to strive for vegan, but we’ll see. [...]
It all started with Kris Carr’s book, Crazy Sexy Diet. I ordered it on Amazon a while back and it sat on my bookshelf for about a month. In 2003, Kris was diagnosed with a rare and incurable stage 4 cancer, which motivated her to embark on a healing journey of clean eating and wellness that brought her back to [...]
They say that money can’t buy happiness. Indeed, financial journalist and motivational speaker Jean Chatzky breaks down the science of happiness, pointing out that since “there’s little difference in the overall happiness of millionaires and the middle class, “we’re better off buying experiences rather than things.” The idea is that because novelty is so stimulating, the [...]
