MY journey
I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I knew corporate life wasn’t for me. I craved time, freedom and real connection to people and the world around me.
So, I left my career, grabbed my backpack and set-off to find a different way of living. Bali, yoga and a lot of dreaming made it clear – I wanted my own business in a sunny place, with coconut trees, clean beaches and a community of like-minded people. I just didn’t know how to make it happen. It felt risky and challenging.
Then I got lucky. A random social media post led me to Palolem, India and the decision to invest in a small beach hut business.
At first, I thought I could design and build it remotely, but it soon became apparent that it just had to be done onsite and to fully immerse myself, not only for the success of the business, but also to create a new lifestyle, a new way of living, that gave me a sense of passion and purpose.
This inspired Coconuts and Dreams, a lifestyle business creator.
