Ella made a drastic decision after graduating university and starting her first corporate job.  She quit on her 89th day.   

Despite having a great opportunity in the corporate world, she realized quickly that she craved a life of independence and freedom.  She ended up living in Rwanda working for a NGO for 6 months.  And this started a transition to becoming a digital nomad and beginning a career as an elite success coach.  This new role allowed her the flexibility to live where she wanted to live as she grew her business.  

As she gained more success, she began to travel and explore more often.  Ella shares with us why she loves Thailand, believes Paraguay is interesting, and why she is not fond of Dubai.  We also talk about her upcoming road trip to West Africa.   

During this conversation, Ella joined me from Spain while I was in Chicago on Skype.  Please listen in and enjoy.
