I will guide you, YOU will have to do the work
Freedom means something different for everybody, so I cannot promise you a specific result. What I can promise you is to guide you on your own journey. I will share my experiences, inspiring examples, practical tips, and frequently made mistakes. I put you in contact with other freedom-seekers, plant the seeds, show you what is possible, and will keep reminding you that it IS possible. I will show you how it works, but I cannot do the work for you. I will provide you guidance and accountability, keep the topic high on the agenda, but YOU will have to do the work to get to where you want to be.

Your instructor
Esther Jacobs is often called the ‘No excuses lady’ because she turns any obstacle into a stepping stone. At the start of this century, she was The Netherlands ‘ first digital nomad, long before this lifestyle became popular, even before the world was digital. She has visited more than 100 countries and hasn’t stayed in one place for more than 4 weeks in the past 15 years.
Esther has never worked for a boss and has set up many successful projects as an entrepreneur. She has given more than 1000 keynote presentations and two TEDx speeches, has raised €16 million for charities, is the author of more than 30 books, and has been interviewed by the international media 500 times.
Having been knighted by the Dutch Queen, to everybody’s surprise just a few years later her home country The Netherlands ‘fired’ her for traveling too much. Since then Esther has been advising governments, digital nomads, and other organizations on how to adapt ‘the system’ to the location independent lifestyle that is becoming more and more common. She recently purchased a plot of olive orchard with an old Trullo house in Puglia, South Italy and now produces her own olive oil.
