Life Happens When You’re Busy Making Plans.

That is exactly what was happening to me when I realized I didn’t like it so much.


Hi, I’m Nora Dunn. In 2006, I decided to take the plunge. I sold my financial planning practice in Toronto Canada, and got rid of all of my belongings in order to free myself up for the adventure of a lifetime.

Since then, I’ve been on the road, traveling slowly through eight countries and three continents. I have lived a variety of lifestyles by working in trade for my accommodation. My location independent writing career takes care of the rest of the expenses. As such, I can travel in a financially sustainable manner like this for as long as I wish.

And I plan to.

From traveling across the vast and magnificent Canada, to falling off the grid in Hawaii, to spontaneous Cyclone relief in Asia, to all the adrenalin I could handle in New Zealand, to Australian adventures and even some (horrific) bushfire action, I have seen – and been a part of – a lot so far.

But there is so much to come. I update this blog every Monday and Thursday; feel free to subscribe (by RSS or e-mail) in the right-hand corner of this page. Poke around up there while you’re looking at that corner – I’d love to see you on Twitter or Facebook too.

As a frequently published author, I also provide regular Roundups with links to other works I wrote that you might be interested in. Please visit my Writing & Publicity page for more information where I’ve been published.

As for where I’m going….we’ll you’ll just have to keep reading, won’t you?
