First Things First…an intro to your Travel & Work Abroad Coach
Well hey there!
I’m beyond ecstatic that you find yourself here today. While I’m incredibly pumped to share the details of Unwrap Your Map® with the world, I feel that introductions are in order first. So without further ado, let’s take it from the top…
Hi, I’m Geneva. I am an avid traveler who has been wandering the world for 7+ years in search of adventure. I’ve lived in 6 U.S. States and 7 countries on 4 continents. I have been to 49 countries and if I could do this in my sleep, I would. I absolutely love venturing to new places, exploring new languages, food and cultures.
If there’s anything I’ve come to realize in my journeys, it is that there are several misconceptions about travel. The most common being an overwhelming assumption that you need tons of money to travel. This could not be further from the truth. There is so much of the world that can easily be experienced on even the tightest of budgets. I want people to know that they can see the world, and they don’t need a crazy extensive budget to do it. That’s why I started Unwrap Your Map™. I have a vision to educate people on their possibilities, but more importantly, their travel potential. This world is attainable to those who want to see it, and I’m here to help make dreams come true!
So on that note, what makes me the right person for the job, you may ask?
Well, this is where it gets interesting. I’ll keep it simple. Consider the following:
I’m a pro at working hard, saving money and budgeting my travels
I'm the (unofficial) recipient of the “Most Organized Backpacker” Award
I’ve lived for 6 years with no more than what can fit in a 55 Liter Backpack
I chase any and all opportunities to go Skydiving and/or Bungee Jumping while abroad
I’ve entirely funded all of my travels solely from savings through jobs I have held abroad
I’ve traveled for several months without a smartphone - yes, real maps and free wifi usually cut it
I’ve not once worked a ‘digital nomad’ type job - just done things the good ol’ fashioned way
AND I like talking to people about how they can do all of the above as well. And all on their own, too
Let’s be real, I’ve done it all. Backpacking, Glamping, Camping, Studying, Working, Living, Expat-ing, 5 Star-ing and everything in between. I’m an all-star budgeter, and a master packer. I am no stranger to long term travel or to funding my travels on the go. I have worked in Management roles for over 8 years including 6 years during my travels. I’ve worked the tourism industry for nearly 3 years and have a well rounded perspective on travels of all different kinds, both from personal and professional experiences abroad. I am a firm believer that if you merely try to chase your dreams, the universe will notice and it will reward you.
In starting Unwrap Your Map®, my mission is simple. I want to help those struggling daydreamers go from endlessly looking, to finally booking. I want to help people see how easy it can be and how capable they are. In addition, I want to help people understand and recognize the benefit of striving for better, more intentional and meaningful travel experiences.
I could go on for ages. There is so much to say about ALL of these things, but my fingers are tired, as I’m sure your eyes are too, so you’ll just have to book a call with me to find out more.
I can’t wait to meet you, to Unwrap Your Map®, and to help get YOU moving too!
Let’s do this.
