Breaking Free: My Leap into Unconventional Living
I’m the one who said 'screw it' to convention and turned my world upside down. I didn’t just switch careers; I embraced a whole new way of unconventional living.
EMBRACING CHANGE AND CHALLENGING NORMS
Hi, I’m Noami.
Leaving behind a stable career in environmental science, I embraced a nomadic lifestyle, driven by a thirst for adventure and a passion for environmental advocacy. Hailing from Trinidad, I refused to let societal norms dictate the scope of my dreams.
Transitioning from nocturnal shifts at bars to academia, I became the first in my family to graduate from the University of New Orleans, specializing in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Throughout my journey, I’ve remained committed to challenging norms and paving a path for others to follow.
My career journey led me to the heart of environmental conservation efforts, where I immersed myself in coastal monitoring projects in the Gulf of Mexico. These experiences sharpened my skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication, shaping me into an advocate for change.
Now, I’m dedicated to sharing my experiences and insights to inspire others to rethink their impact on the planet. Through storytelling and advocacy, I strive to foster a more sustainable future for generations to come.
I serve My Community By:
Offering practical advice and inspirational content on unconventional living, van life, sustainable travel, creative entrepreneurship, personal empowerment and more.
Creating a platform for community building and shared experiences.
Providing resources and tools for personal growth and lifestyle transformation.
Hosting workshops, webinars, talks, collaboration and partnerships, consultation and events that align with their interests and aspirations.
My Values
AUTHENTICITY
At the core of my ethos is a commitment to being genuine. Whether it’s sharing the highs and lows of van life, discussing the realities of unconventional living, or advocating for outdoor equity, my content and interactions are steeped in honesty and realness. I’m not about sugar-coating or presenting a polished, unattainable lifestyle – it’s all about keeping it 100% authentic.
FREEDOM
The essence of my journey is the pursuit of freedom – freedom from societal norms, freedom to explore, and freedom to live on her own terms. This value is deeply embedded in my work, encouraging others to break free from constraints and discover their own paths to liberation and joy.
SUSTAINABLE IMPACT
Sustainability is more than an environmental concern for me, it’s about creating lasting, positive impacts in every aspect of life. From advocating eco-friendly travel to nurturing sustainable community practices, my approach is rooted in making choices that benefit both the planet and people. Also, thriving in everyday life.
COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT
I’m not just on a personal journey, I’m about lifting others along the way. My initiatives, especially through 'Diversify Vanlife' and my podcast, aim to create inclusive spaces and empower often excluded voices in the outdoor, nomadic, and alternative lifestyle communities.
COURAGEOUS EXPLORATION
Whether through my writing or my personal life, I embody the spirit of bold exploration. I don’t just travel – I delve into uncharted territories, both geographically and conceptually, inspiring others to do the same, to explore the unknown and take risks in pursuit of growth and fulfillment.
my why
My 'Why' stems from a deep-seated belief that life isn’t meant to be lived within the confines of what’s traditionally expected. It’s about questioning the status quo, challenging the norms society sets for us, and daring to live on our own terms. I started this journey not just to carve out a niche for myself but to create a platform where others feel empowered to break free from societal expectations and redefine what success means to them.
I aim to inspire those who feel trapped by their circumstances, to show that financial independence, sustainable living, and a life filled with adventure aren’t just fantasies but achievable realities. My mission is to build a community that supports and uplifts each other, a network where stories of unconventional success and the pursuit of passion pave the way for others to follow.
Through my work, I want to offer more than just products or services; I aim to provide experiences that provoke thought, ignite change, and encourage a life lived with purpose and passion. By demonstrating that with resilience, creativity, and a willingness to take the road less traveled, anyone can craft a life that’s not only fulfilling but also leaves a positive imprint on the world.
IN ESSENCE, MY 'WHY' IS TO EMPOWER, INSPIRE, AND CHALLENGE—TO BE A BEACON FOR THOSE SEEKING TO LIVE AUTHENTICALLY AND FEARLESSLY, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY’RE STARTING FROM OR HOW FAR OFF THE BEATEN PATH THEY WANT TO GO.
