Thank you for being here. My name is Arianna. I'm a serial entrepreneur and living a nomadic lifestyle for the past 12 years. Yes, Even before the word digital nomad existed. Growing up in the Netherlands, I was surrounded by societal expectations and this whole idea of doe normaal. It means act normal. Deep down, I always knew my part was meant to be anything but ordinary. For the past 12 years, I've fully embraced a life of constant travel, Running multiple businesses and living out of a backpack. I've thrown out the concept of normal and instead jumped headfirst into a world of unlimited possibilities and incredible adventures. I mean, If I would have listened to all the opinions of the people around me, I would still be working for a boss, Still be living in the village I grew up in, Still be dating the same guy, Still be eating foods that aren't good for me, Still be taking vacations only once a year, But instead, I decided to listen to my inner voice and I created a life on my own terms. I became an entrepreneur. I opened my own company. I travelled to over 40 countries. I lived all around the world. I learned to speak multiple languages. I decided to eat in a way that works for my body. I married a guy just as crazy as me. I supported several schools in Nepal. I made friends around the world. I had several international speaking gigs. I wrote my first book. And I'm hosting and organizing a TEDx event next year. And, You know, I believe that the best is yet to come. You decide who you want to become. Don't listen to other people's opinions. It's just noise. Every new place I visit becomes an opportunity for growth, Self-discovery and learning. I mean from the busy streets of vibrant cities to the peaceful serenity of remote corners of the world. I've been so lucky to experience the breathtaking beauty and diversity our planet has to offer. And then managing multiple businesses on the go has been like an absolute thrill. It's allowed me to pursue my passions and explore different industries and connect with inspiring individuals from all walks of life. Who says you have to choose just one path when you can create your own? So here I am, Proudly defying the concept of normal and fully embracing the extraordinary. I've learned that it's perfectly okay to follow your own unique path, Challenge societal expectations and create a life that truly reflects your inner self. Let's break free from limitations, Celebrate our individuality, And encourage others to embark on their own extraordinary journeys. Together we have the power to redefine what normal means, And create a world where uniqueness and diversity are not only accepted, But celebrated. So here's to all the multi-passionate souls out there who refuse to settle for ordinary. Embrace your wanderlust, Pursue your passions with unwavering determination, And never, Never be afraid to live life on your own extraordinary terms. Thank you for listening.

Thanks, Rianna, I never had the wanderlust—I’ve lived a few places in the US, but felt happy wherever I was. And I’ve been able to live my dreams on my own terms, even while learning to adapt to unexpected situations! So, I hear you! And kudos to you for encouraging others to live fully this “one wild and precious life”!

I love this. I am glad that I haven’t lived a normal life also. Thank you.
