A manual for at-home daily adventure

Some folks are pretty bummed at the prospect of cancelled events, social quarantine, and days spent at home. Others are thrilled: Time to catch up on Netflix, read those books on the shelf, spend time with family, or just chill on the couch.
Life doesn’t have to become boring because social calendars are reduced. In… More...
Add magic

Instead of focusing on what is wrong or needs to change in your life, add something. Look for ways to fill your life with magic.
Once a day, once a week, even once a month, incorporate something that inspires you: A song that brings you… More...

Straight ahead or turn
The end of the year brings fantastic opportunities to evaluate and assess your life and professional goals. As the month comes to a close, take stock over your personal and business milestones.

And when you do, you open up space in your life for more: More of what you want. More of what gets you closer to your goals. More of what serves you.

In 2016, eighteen students reached their dreams of pursuing work and/or higher education abroad (you can see more participation numbers from last year here); I anticipate these numbers will continue to grow.

Travel and volunteering
Travel isn’t just about a place, it’s about the people you meet along the way, and volunteering can be a wonderful way to connect. Not only will you learn more about the community, their culture, their struggles and their celebrations, you can help in a meaningful way — perhaps even leave a lasting impact.
But as a traveler, you have responsibility. You have responsibility for the choices…
More...How to talk to young people about entrepreneurship
Our culture is obsessed with success — mostly because success, as portrayed in media, is sandwiched between wealth and fame. This idealist notion of success, especially in terms of entrepreneurship, has extreme consequences.
