My First Course: Get Paid to Travel the World With Purpose!

The idea of teaching what I’ve learnt over the years – about meaningful travel, impact storytelling and making a living from a combination of the two – first occurred to me when I was travelling in South Africa.

A travel blogger friend in Cape Town confessed that she felt lost in the clutter of creators. How could she stand out without losing her soul to Instagram trends? How could she get noticed by brands without having millions of followers? Could she ever make a comfortable living through her passion for travelling?

I walked out of that conversation feeling an unfamiliar urge. I suddenly wanted to gather people who shared this passion for travel and storytelling, and teach them how to turn it into a meaningful career. My mind was already chalking out an outline, and imagining a minimal workshop room with white boards and engaged discussions.

Then the pandemic happened, and the longer it stretched, the more this dream receded into the crevices of my mind.

Until one day, that unfamiliar urge surfaced again, this time over a similar conversation in Goa. Instead of in-person workshops though, this time I could visualize Zoom sessions. I gradually began developing a self-paced course for travellers, creators and dreamers who aspire to travel, tell stories, make a living from it – and do it with a sense of purpose.

What started out as a month-long project at the beginning of 2023 took over 6 months to build – but I’m thrilled to share that it’s finally live!
