Dreams are Meant to Come True

YAY, IT’S REALLY HAPPENING!

Dreams are meant to come true (and not to let them stay dreams) and one of my long time dreams is really happening!

I’m off to Portugal for 6 months!!!

Years ago, I had a dream to go to South America for six months and travel around. But, being self-employed meant creating a hefty savings pot first.  

Unfortunately, I then got injured in 2018 while walking the Camino to Santiago (aka ‘the Way’ in Spain), and so traveling was not a viable option. 

Then in 2019 I had other health issues, which meant that I was temporarily unable to work or work less, and altogether unable to save the money I needed for this trip. And I just didn’t have the energy for such an adventure. And then last year, well we all know what happened in 2020…

It felt as an internal conflict: I always tell my clients how important it is to follow their hearts and make their dreams happen, but I wasn’t walking my talk. Yes, the desire was definitely there and I did have valid reasons, but still …

For years, I’ve also dreamed of setting up my business in such a way that I could actually work from anywhere in the world. I have (thanks to the lockdown 🙂 ) now made that possible. My international business was already completely online anyway, and thanks to working from home, it has become much more accessible for my Dutch clients to be supported partially or completely online. 

So everything came together nicely and finally the opportunity did arise – with a few tweaks!

☀️ South America became Portugal

☀️ Traveling around with a backpack became renting a house in a few different places

☀️ A full sabbatical became sort of a half sabbatical during which I also continue to work (although less). 

And in case you’re wondering if you can still work with me during this time: The answer is YES!

For me an awesome and feasible solution to make my dream come true! And as for South America; I trust that there will be a good time for that in the future too 😉 

After 2 rather intense years I am now creating time and space to shift down to a lower gear and less stimuli for a while. 

The first leg of my trip is from my hometown Haarlem in the Netherlands to Paris. There I will catch up with a dear friend of mine, and I’ll be picking up another dear friend who will accompany me on my road trip to Portugal for a while. I already see this image of Thelma & Louise in front of me, but of course with a much happier outcome 🤣)

And then I’m going to enjoy peace, space, nature around me, nice walks (I hereby set the intention that my leg is going to be super well), nice weather, reading books, meeting new people, visiting beautiful places, and whatever else may come my way! 🙏🏻💕
