lolasjourney asked: Hi Johnica, I am browsing your website and am really amazed at how much you have accomplished at such an early age I am the point where I know I need to jump off of the ledge and fly but I am so afraid to fall. Can you tell me how you got started? Thank you, Lola! I’m asked this question frequently and it’s really difficult to answer as my “start” as a professional jet-setter was quite charmed. Basically, two years ago I was presented with a (random, yet amazing) opportunity in South Africa and instead of using vacation time like a practical person, I quit my job in nonprofit development to explore. After that, a series of “right place, right time, charmed life” events took place and here I am. If you know you need to jump, JUMP. Create the life you want. The real risk is in living a life that’s anything less than you’d imagined.
