Hi and Welcome to Enjoying the Journey!

I'm Wendy, a Gen-Xer who traded the American dream for a life of European adventures. After spending more than a decade abroad and weathering a corporate shakeup, I discovered something powerful: midlife isn't a crisis – it's a plot twist (an opportunity for reinvention). Now, I'm here to be your guide on this exciting journey.

Here at Enjoying the Journey, we explore life's unexpected turns with curiosity and courage. Together, we'll discover:

  • how to transform life's surprises into opportunities for growth
  • unconventional approaches to building financial freedom
  • ways to find extraordinary adventures in everyday life
  • strategies for reinventing yourself at any age

Whether you're navigating a career transition, reimagining your financial future or simply ready to write a more exciting life story, you're in the right place. This is a community for those who believe that sometimes the best chapters in life are the unplanned ones.

I call us Plot Twisters – because we know that embracing life's unexpected turns often leads to the most remarkable stories.

Welcome to the Tribe!

About Me

Hi there! I'm Wendy - a marketing consultant, content creator, and curious world traveler.

With over 20 years of experience leading marketing strategy and execution for global brands, I've honed a data-driven, results-oriented approach. Now, I apply those skills to help clients elevate their marketing through my freelance consultancy.

But I'm not all business! When I'm not working, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and gathering inspiration for my blog and vlog. As a proud 50-something, I'm embracing this stage of life with a spirit of reinvention, adventure, and a healthy love of wine tasting (a crucial skill, if you ask me!).

I started this space as a way to share my expat insights, travel experiences, and musings on life's journey.  Ready to put yourself first for once and do it with a touch of wanderlust? Then, this is your tribe! 🌍✈️
