Meet Jill. She never thought to travel the world one day.\u00a0 But she was super brave, she listens to her gut and leave her comfort zone completely. She planned to make her life a full adventure. And it worked so far.<\/h4>\n<p><strong><br \/>Tell us your story. What was your life looked like before? Why did you decide to change it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Long story short, I grew up in the Netherlands and Germany. My life was kinda normal at first. I finished school, even studied like (german) society wants you to. At 21 I established a little company with my former partner. I was always into Motorsport, cars, and motorbikes. We did car wrapping, wide bodies, engine swaps, and other car tuning. I also designed and sold car enthusiast clothing and merchandise. We got to attend a variety of car events and racetracks all around Europe. I loved working for myself, being creative, and being able to make other people a little happier. At the same time, I studied business management in evening school and also had a normal 9 to 5 office job, so my days were super long and exhausting. A few years later I got even more creative and started handcrafting, I worked with resin, timber, and alcohol colors and made this a second little business on the side. After my relationship of 7.5 years ended unexpectedly at the end of 2020 I lost everything.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I had left was my office job, but this didn\u2019t fulfill me. Also, societal expectations were drowning me meanwhile. For some people, it&#8217;s amazing, but for me, the imagination of a standard german life is making me run away. There has to be more in life,\u00a0 a wider horizon, more sunsets, more adventures, more happiness.<\/p>\n<p>So at one point (the lowest point in my life) I just said Fuck it, I\u2019m gone.\u00a0 I felt so stuck, unhappy, and completely in the wrong place and mindset. So I decided to quit my job, searched for subtenants for my apartment, sold my project car, and used this money to make my first trip around the world possible. And then I got to planning.<\/p>\n<p>I just knew that there were other ways to live life and I wanted to find them.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1735393044\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1735393044 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1894852248\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?fit=1020%2C1020&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?w=2550&amp;ssl=1 2550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=12%2C12&amp;ssl=1 12w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20211018-WA0195-1.2.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1894852248 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1312596041\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1312596041 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><strong>What were the biggest lessons you learned on the trip? What did you understand about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of things I learned on my previous journey, but what my previous life taught me is; you can plan all you want,\u00a0 but life just happens. I thought I would end up with a husband, a dog, 2 raccoons, and my own business. But it looks like life had bigger plans for me. At first, it felt like I lost the purpose of my life, but in the end, you\u2019ll see it was just the universe pushing you in the right direction. Sometimes you don\u2019t get what you want, because you deserve better.<\/p>\n<p>You have to trust the process and your way.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>Maybe you found yourself different from when you always thought?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I\u2019m stronger than I thought, I\u2019m also kinder and funnier than I thought. In my previous office jobs, I saw that I am a good organizer and problem solver, but I never thought I would travel the world one day. I never thought I\u2019d deserve that because my subconscious was fucked up.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>If you could go back to the beginning, what would you do differently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nothing. I have no regrets.<\/p>\n<p>I was just a little shy at the beginning and maybe missed out on talking to some interesting people. But that\u2019s okay. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-209140956\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-924711539\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_453516365\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?fit=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?w=1978&amp;ssl=1 1978w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 791w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C994&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=1187%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1187w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=1583%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1583w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C388&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220424_101210.1-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C776&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_453516365 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1785693310\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_147879319\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?fit=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?w=1978&amp;ssl=1 1978w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 791w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C994&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=1187%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1187w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=1583%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1583w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C388&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Videoframe_20220418_213135_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.2-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C776&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_147879319 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>If someone is secretly dreaming about the lifestyle you are living now, what would you tell them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be careful about who you talk to about your dreams and goals.

So if they could never travel the world, work remotely, or even become self-employed, they may be projecting this onto you, and if your wish or idea is young and vulnerable, it could be destroyed by other people&#8217;s small mindsets. Don\u2019t let that happen. Connect to people who are already living the way you wanna live. Learn from them, talk to them, and inspire yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you never leave your comfort zone and everything seems too scary to start, you can train yourself by doing this: Force yourself out of your comfort zone by practicing it. You can start with simple things like cold showers, trying out new food, eating at a restaurant alone, and meeting new people. You will teach your subconscious that you\u2019re able to leave your comfort zone and that it&#8217;s good for you.

I can write and video calls my loved ones, and we talk for hours every few days, to some of my family I am even closer now than I was before which is crazy, but I cannot call my beloved dog. She is in the best hands with my family and gets all the love and care she needs, but because she\u2019s already a senior dog, I was super scared to leave her for a few months. I still am.<\/p>\n<p>Besides my fear of losing her while I\u2019m gone, it&#8217;s also not always easy missing out on birthdays, and special occasions. That\u2019s why I am travelling mostly for a half year and then come back to see my family and friends for a while until I catch the next flight and explore the next country.<br \/><br \/><strong>What do you suggest to people dreaming about this lifestyle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go for it! Even or especially when everyone thinks you\u2019re crazy. Be the one person you need the most. Learn about affirmations, and rebuild your subconscious, you are so much stronger than you think, you will grow and evolve and be the happiest version of yourself. I\u2019m not saying it will be easy. You will think MILLIONS of times \u201eWhat the fuck am I doing here?! I can\u2019t just do that\u201c \u00a0Yes you can.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. It&#8217;s okay to be scared. But don\u2019t let the fear stop you. If you\u2019re scared to do it, do it scared. But do it.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1472250770\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1472250770 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1002620929\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuothebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FaceApp_1648553005297-01-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1002620929 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1618874507\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1618874507 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-827840560\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-827840560 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><strong>What are the first steps in preparation?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sounds weird but the first and most important step is to DECIDE. It all depends on your strong and final decision. The brain is a funny system. Before you decide to go for it, it will give you doubts and fear. It will show you every cause to NOT do it and every scenario that possibly could go wrong. But as soon as you decide to go for it, it will show you ways of how to make things possible. It will give you crazy ideas and so much anticipation. And honestly, that&#8217;s the best preparation. You will find every solution to any problem or obstacle after this point. Your brain will be like a personal high-performance google &amp; problem solver. There are a lot of steps before leaving your country, traveling perpetually, or moving abroad. But there is also a lot of help and tips online to guide you. Plus the people you can connect to and learn from. And the rest is your mindset.<br \/><br \/><strong>What are your next steps?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My next steps\u2026 Finding a way to travel to my bucket list places. Japan, Hawaii, and Brazil are very high on that list. I want to improve my Social Media, especially my Youtube, take more people with me on my journey, and inspire them to go after their dreams. I am planning to be self-employed again, probably I will combine my passion with my business.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><strong>Is there any adventure you are planning?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I plan to make my life a full adventure.
