70 questions with Michelle Maree, founder and CEO of The Nomad Escape: From Suriname, wood, and the “right” mindset to fresh coconuts, entrepreneurship, and their Nomad Island Fest in the “Bali of Europe”
She reminds me of Moana. Maybe it’s her look. Maybe it’s the fierce sparkle in her eyes, her confidence, or her independence. Maybe it’s her adventurous spirit and her eventful life.

“Your paintings look like tattoo designs.

70 questions with Samantha North, writer and founder of Digital Émigré: From blog monetization, SEO, a writer’s worst enemy, and voice typing to EU citizenship, Brexit, Istanbul, and North Korean border

Some tools are much more than tools. They open your eyes to a new world of possibilities. They improve more than just the one aspect of your life you needed help with. They change your life. For me, InstaText has been a life changer. It’s way more than a writing and editing tool. It’s an…
