Zoe Davenport was born with extra sensory abilities and has been extensively studying self-love, quantum physics and spiritual ascension for the past 10 years.

Today, Zoe uses her multi-dimensional gifts to inspire and support the visionary leaders of the new paradigm. She seeks to guide them towards self-love, authenticity, creative potential, energetic mastery and the embodiment of their higher selves.

Her ability to hold the multi-dimensional field open accelerates a person’s potential and allows them to make a quantum shift in reality, jump to the highest timeline and ground their creative expression into the human experience.

Chanie’s biggest mantra is “how do you know you don’t like it if you haven’t tried it?”

I realised that success to me is not how much money you earn or how far up a ladder you climb in a company...success to me was being able to tell my stories.

It’s a lot easier when your travelling to make new friends because everyone is in that zone but its hard when you come back home and everyone is in their normal routine.
— Danielle Knight

When coming home...

  • Emotions and differences Danielle faced - Not loose herself in the process of integrating as she didn’t realise she would stay for so long. Things are familiar and the same which is different to when you travel where everything is new and exciting. Not experiencing as much diversity as in her travels.

  • What had changed for Danielle - There was a big contrast in her friendship groups and what their interests and experiences were.

  • How Danielle supported herself - Went to workshops and events that resonated with her and put herself out there to create a community and network. Used Meet up to find new friends. Allow yourself to shine and be the person you want to be, if not you risk not attracting the people who you ultimately want to connect with.

  • 3 Lessons learned from travel and reverse culture shock

  1. To be unapologetically myself - there is no such thing as normal or one way to do things.

  2. The power of connection with other humans.

  3. The value of giving back and sharing your life in someway with others - being involved in stuff that matters to you.

  • Advise to herself for returning home - Just breath, dont be in a rush to have all the answers, trust the opportunities that come and put one foot in front of the other.

You have to be vulnerable and brave enough to show all the parts of yourself.

Learning from the French by finding joy in 'living' with Alex Morton.

Alex, 25, is a self-proclaimed lifelong explorer who has started her own website design business, Alex Morton Creative, to achieve her dream of working remotely from anywhere in the world. Over on her blog, she delves deep into life- and entrepreneurial stories, and she loves meeting and connecting with other female travellers, business owners, and wanderlusters.

About Alex

Alex, 25, is a self-proclaimed lifelong explorer who has started her own website design business, Alex Morton Creative, to achieve her dream of working remotely from anywhere in the world.

Over on her blog, she delves deep into life- and entrepreneurial stories and she loves meeting and connecting with other female travellers, business owners, and wanderlusters.

Alex, originally from California, has always been called to France - from the language to the culture to the appreciation of the simple things. Her life in France began in 2013 when she arrived in Paris to study for a semester. She later returned and 'cemented' herself into her life in France. Since then, Alex has been au pairing, teaching English, falling in love and is now making arrangements to become a full resident!

Put yourself out there for opportunities but do not stress out if it doesn’t work out.
— Alex Morton

When coming home...

  • Emotions Alex faced - Found it to be like a puzzle on how to fit back in with her community, friends and family, including how her thinking had shifted.

  • What changed for Alex - Was really excited to come back to take advantage of her university experience. Had a feeling that she would return to France.

  • The biggest stress - Getting caught up in the different identities that she had in different communities and how she would show up in the world.

  • How Alex supported herself - Focused on university, found people that she could talk to and who could relate to her. Pick and choose who support you.

  • How Alex used her mindset - Aimed to feel comfortable and feel grounded in a place that is not her home. Not feeling like you have to stay in the town where you grew up.

  • 3 Lessons learned from travel and reverse culture shock

  1. Be adaptable and be open to experiences.

  2. Cultivate relationships you have with your friends and family.

  3. Treat everyone as an adventure and be ok with not knowing.

  • Advise to herself for returning home - Dont stress about having a plan in place because everything will change. Put yourself out there for opportunities but do not stress out if it doesn’t work out.

People are not going to be like you and are not going to do things they way you are used to doing things.

We drove past the place that I saw in my meditation that has the glass-domed iglus!
