Certificate of completion

Access for 90 days

An in-depth course for storytellers, creators and influencers, to get paid to travel - and have a positive impact on the world in the process!

Overview

I've travelled to 60+ countries as a travel storyteller, and taken all my learnings to build a course that'll give you the strategies and mindset to turn your wanderlust into a meaningful career. 

 

Over the past 10 years, I've worked with hundreds of brands - tourism boards, airlines, accommodations, lifestyle brands - and had some of the most epic travel experiences of my life. I've e-biked in the Swiss Alps, spent a month on a remote island off the coast of Chile, crossed the land border from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan, travelled across the wine regions of Germany, and set foot on some of the world's most stunning beaches in Mauritius - all as part of paid collaborations.

 

This in-depth course is designed for influencers, content creators, bloggers, writers, photographers and travellers who dream of travelling the world too. The tools I share can be applied to different parts of your journey, and across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, blogging and whatever channels might emerge in the future. I teach you how to build a strong personal brand, attract a loyal audience, get paid to travel to your dream destinations, negotiate contracts and deliverables, and have a positive impact on the world in the process. 

 

Dreams become reality only when we act on them. Will you?
