In a world often caught in the rigmarole of a 9 to 5 routine, Heather Markel stands as a beacon of what lies beyond the conventional. In our recent engaging podcast episode, we delved into the life of Heather, a full-time travel coach whose narrative is nothing short of a cinematic journey filled with inspiration, self-discovery, and relentless pursuit of one’s passions.


Heather’s story is a stirring saga that transitioned from the bustling corridors of a New York corporate office to the quaint countryside of Normandy, and further, across 27 enchanting countries. A former corporate professional, Heather is now an internationally acclaimed speaker, bestselling author, and a living embodiment of breaking free from societal molds to craft a path of her own.


Heather’s early days were marked with a dichotomy of passions and pursuits, often leaving her lost amidst the demanding cadence of city life. However, a shy teenager from the city soon found her voice and purpose in the most unexpected locales - from a serene farm in Normandy to the stressful ambiance of a corporate office that left her with stress-induced chest pains.


Her narrative took a daring turn when she decided to bid adieu to a frustration-ridden career, and embraced the beckoning trails of world travel. This was not just a career shift but a bold step towards self-actualization and claiming a destiny she knew was hers. The transition was not merely a change in profession, but a profound journey from corporate halls to global calls.


The assumption that world travel is a prerogative of the millennials, the affluent, or the retired is debunked by Heather with a grace that’s as enlightening as it is empowering. Heather unfolds the realities of affordable and achievable full-time travel, shattering the age and wealth barriers that often deter many. Her insights into the mindset, planning, and trust required to morph this dream into a daily reality are priceless.


Heather Markel’s journey is not just a personal tale of triumph over conventional norms, but it resonates with the Great Resignation wave, inspiring many to follow their hearts and shatter the shackles of a monotonous routine. She embodies the power of self-belief, confidence, and the sheer audacity to follow one’s heart, making her story a potent source of inspiration for those teetering on the edge of taking the plunge into their true calling.


As Heather's leap from corporate halls to global calls guides us through her extraordinary life expedition, this episode emerges as a concoction of inspiration, actionable advice, and a robust nudge for you to cease the dreaming and commence the living of your full-time travel lifestyle. Heather’s tale is a vivid illustration that it’s never too late to reroute your life’s map and embark on a journey toward self-discovery and unrestrained adventure.
