How it all began
When the life you're living no longer resonates with your dreams, values, and purpose, it's time to pivot. 💙
Hello! I'm Vale! My life's journey has involved moving for as long as I can remember. "Movement" has never bothered me, although I'm not going to lie, the "fear" of facing uncertainty and the unknown side of change can show up from time to time.
My career path began as a kindergarten teacher (yes, the one who teaches tiny human beings💗). Along the way, I became a Coach, HR Analyst, NLP practitioner, and Vegan entrepreneur (as I became vegan 🌿). I have taught in elementary and secondary schools (I loved it!), been an Executive Assistant to very smart and knowledgeable professionals, and created educational programs for non-profit organizations and schools.
In a world that often seems predictable and routine, something inside wanted a transformation. I wanted to live and work while travelling, learning about cultures, experiencing the world, meeting new people, and going “outside my bubble” 🛩. It wasn't easy, and the feelings of doubt and not knowing what I was doing overwhelmed me, but it was a strong inner call, so I looked for a way to open the door to what ended up being one of the best life decisions: remote work and solo travel. This wasn't simply about changing my location; it was about a necessary life pivot.
During that turning point, I stepped into a new role at a remote early-stage startup based in New York. It was a wild, hands-on experience that taught me a lot. I took ownership of our customer onboarding, guiding over 200 entrepreneurs and small businesses, and ran the company's operations. I helped shape how people experienced our programs, making sure they felt guided, supported, and excited to engage. It pushed me to grow fast, think creatively, solve things on the spot, and lean into empathy every day.
Traveling has been nothing short of a 360-degree life turn for me. It showed me a sense of freedom and taught me invaluable lessons about bravery and self-discovery. Funny how each destination showed new facets of my personality that I had never known before. I immersed myself in diverse cultures, savoured unique cuisines, and really marvelled at breathtaking landscapes. But what made all the difference in a journey that felt so scary at first were conversations with people who were once strangers but became a huge part of my journey. Connections made all the difference for me.
Traveling became a school of emotions, dreams and a community among hearts from all corners of the globe.
And so Traveling My Way (TMW), has been on my mind for two years, and now I’m fully invested in making it the warmest and most meaningful connection space.
And I´m SO HAPPY you found us and are here!
What’s Traveling My Way?
Traveling My Way (TMW) is a space that brings together digital nomads, travelers, hosts, creators, and founders who are building something that matters and believe in the power of genuine connection, one story and project at a time.
It comes from something most of us already know from being on the road, those easy, natural connections. The kind where nobody cares about titles or strategies to impress. You feel enough freedom to show up from your essence, and real connection flows.
TMW is here to hold onto those moments, give them a place to continue, and not let them disappear when the trip ends.
It’s a place to share, inspire, co-create, learn, create a soft, real network, support each other, and grow, even when you're not traveling.
It’s also for people building things around this lifestyle, group trips, retreats, communities, projects, or ideas that come out of movement and connection.
So, who’s it for? 🌍
- People already living the nomadic life, travelers on the go, looking to connect with others who get it.
- Anyone just starting or dreaming of this lifestyle, wondering if they could do it too
- Creators, entrepreneurs and community builders launching group trips, retreats, colivings, or online projects
- Travelers who want to share their story or be part of something bigger than just moving around
