barbara weibelAlthough I’ve been traveling around the world for the past 6 years, my path to this journey wasn’t an escape from a cubicle. Prior to setting off I developed a framework to focus my travels but in many ways you could say I fit a certain mold for this kind of extended adventure. I began in my 20s and am male (except when watching Finding Neverland) but my live chat guest today proves you don’t have to fit a template to follow your dreams.

After 35 years in careers that paid the bills but brought no joy, Barbara Weibel set out on a 6-month round-the-world trip to pursue her true passions of travel, writing and photography. 7 years later, she is still traveling and writing about her adventures on her blog, Hole in the Donut Cultural Travel.

The chat now closed, thank you everyone for participating!
