Show Notes

๐ŸŒJourney: Australia -> United States, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Canada, India, United Kingdom, Russia -> Switzerland 

If you want unbelievable data -  then get ready: Jacqui visited 67 countries, and lived in 9 of them! Thou her experiences is not enough to cover in one talk, we have tried to bring you the best moments and stories!

Jacqui is a mega-events professional of 25 years and a global nomad. She has followed the Olympic Games and other events around the world from her start at Sydney 2000 and most recently prepared COVID readiness exercises for Tokyo 2020. She founded Breathe last year when she lost her contract work as a result of the pandemic. She is now a Certified Coach and Mindfulness Teacher whose passion is wellness coaching and training.

Tips from Jacqui to those, who have landed in a new country:

  • Find your group, especially a sport or active movement one
  • Show respect and try to understand and learn their language
  • Connect to other expats and build new relationships
  • Provide for accommodation to others or search for accommodation where you could meet new people

I also could not stress more the importance of the following quote by Jacqui -  Try to lean in the discomfort and trust the journey, that it becomes harder before it gets better.
