Seven months ago, I was sitting in a quiet house in Georgia, surrounded by pieces of a life I knew I could no longer stay in. My marriage had ended. My routine felt hollow. I had worked so hard to build a stable life — financially, emotionally, logistically — but my spirit was restless.

Something deep within me said, “This isn’t where your story ends.”

That voice was quiet at first. I wasn’t sure what to do with it. I started journaling every day — pouring out my grief, my confusion, my anger, my longing for something different. I began therapy around the same time, and slowly, things started to come into focus.

I didn’t want to just rebuild a version of what I had.
I wanted to live — fully, freely, boldly.

And then came the idea that changed everything:
What if I just left? What if I took my children and drove into the unknown — through Latin America — to live the life I’ve always dreamed of?

Where the Idea Came From

The truth is, this idea wasn’t a reaction to pain. It was a return to myself.

In college, I dreamed of doing work in developing countries, of living abroad, of telling stories that mattered. Somewhere along the way, I got pulled into the current of what was expected — marriage, home ownership, stability. But that current carried me farther and farther from who I really am.

When my marriage ended, it was as if the dam broke.

I started working with a therapist.
I started writing.
And slowly, I started listening to myself again.

How I Knew This Was the Right Path

I was told — very directly — to go. To let Georgia go. To leave. To live.
And when I heard that, I didn’t flinch.
Because somewhere inside me, I already knew.

It felt like truth. It felt like freedom.
And now, I know it was.

So I bought a 2013 Lexus LX 570. I found a 6×12 cargo trailer and packed our lives into it. I booked Airbnbs all the way down.
I named my blog and social media Uncharted Horizons because that’s exactly what this is — a new chapter with no map, no script, no limits.

I Started Sharing, Even When I Didn’t Think Anyone Would Care

When I started this journey, I didn’t think anyone would care about my story.
I was healing. I was journaling for myself, documenting for the sake of expression.

But someone told me:

“Share it. Others will need to hear it. It matters.”

So I did.

Now, I’ve written over 130 blog posts.
I’ve launched a YouTube and TikTok channel.
People are finding it. They’re following along. And they’re connecting — not because I’m trying to be inspirational, but because I’m being honest.

This journey isn’t polished.
It’s raw.
It’s real.
And it’s mine.

What I Know Now

I leave tomorrow morning.
The trailer is packed. The route is planned. My heart is full.
I don’t think I’ll ever come back to live in the United States. Maybe I’ll visit occasionally — to check on a rental property or see family — but I know now that my life is elsewhere.

This isn’t a temporary escape.
This is a lifestyle.
It’s a conscious, intentional choice to live freely and raise my children immersed in the world.

I am not running away.
I am running toward something beautiful.

How I Got Here

It started with heartbreak.
It grew through therapy.
It blossomed through journaling.
And it became real the moment I chose to stop waiting and start living.

If you’re reading this and you feel stuck — like your life no longer fits, like something bigger is calling you — I want you to know that your life doesn’t have to be conventional to be extraordinary.

You don’t have to know the destination.
You just have to be brave enough to start driving.

Uncharted Horizons Begins Now

Tomorrow, the road opens up.
My children and I will drive south, into a life of adventure, learning, and deep presence.
We’ll explore beaches and mountains, cultures and cuisines, ourselves and each other.
And I’ll keep telling the story — not just for me, but for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re allowed to want more.

You are.
And you don’t have to ask permission.

This is your life.
These are your horizons.
And they’re waiting for you, too.

Uncharted Horizons has begun.
And I am so deeply ready.
