How Did I Get Here?

Starting over in your 30s can feel exciting, terrifying, and deeply humbling all at once. By this point in life, many people expect to have everything figured out — a clear path, a stable routine, and a version of success that looks polished from the outside. But life does not always unfold that neatly. Sometimes starting over is not a setback at all — it is a wake-up call.

Traveling can feel exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you’re planning your first solo trip, heading somewhere new, or trying to figure everything out on your own. That’s why I created the Fearless Travel Guide — to help you travel with more confidence, better preparation, and less stress.

We had the good fortune of connecting with George and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Can one book or concept truly change your life? I moved to Playa La Ropa in Zihuatanejo, Mexico to discover my why, and continue to grow while following my mission in a new country.

My morning doesn’t start with a ZOOM meeting or morning commute; it starts five minutes from the Pacific Ocean in a loft located in Playa La Ropa, Zihuatanejo, Mexico (pronounced zee·waa·tuh·nay·how). My routine is the foundation that keeps me grounded and present as I spend a few minutes of my life, living in a foreign country. It’s been nearly two years now that i’ve called this place my home.
