Let's talk it through

It's time to stop going over the same conversation in your head

Stop researching. Start doing.

Book your Beyond the Backpack Call and get sixty minutes of honest, direct answers from someone who's actually living the life you're planning

Feel like you're just consuming more and more content?

We know what it’s like to spend months consuming information about a life you desperately want, and still feel no closer to actually making it happen.

You’ve watched the reels. Read the blogs. Bookmarked the posts. Asked questions in Facebook groups and got seventeen different answers.

You’re not short of information. You’re short of someone who’s done it, who will just talk to you straight.

That’s what this call is.

Real answers, not careful ones

I’ll tell you what I actually think, not what sounds encouraging. If something won’t work for your family, I’d rather tell you that than let you spend the next six months planning for it.

Two years of lived experience in sixty minutes

Ask me anything. The income, the kids, the logistics, the hard bits nobody posts about. I’ve either been through it or I know someone who has.

A next step, not a mood board

You’ll leave with something concrete to do. Not a list of things to think about. Not a vague sense of direction. An actual next step that makes sense for where you are right now.

Still Googling. Still in the same place. Still putting it off.

Sixty minutes later, you know exactly what to do next.

This call isn’t a sales pitch and it isn’t a therapy session. It’s an hour with someone who left a regular life in the UK with two kids, zero guarantee it would work, and made it work anyway.

We’ve been travelling full time since November 2023. I run my VA business on the road, our kids are unschooled, and we’ve lived in nine countries.

I’m not selling you a dream; I’m showing you how we made it a reality, and helping you figure out how you can too.

I always say that the difference between getting your goal or not, is imply a plan. You'll walk away with:

  • Honest answers based on two years of lived experience and hundreds of hours of reading

  • Clarity on your biggest sticking point

  • A simple, realistic next step you can actually action

  • A recording of the call to revisit whenever you need a reminder

This 60-minute session is £79, less than a family meal out for an hour that could change the direction of your life.

£79 for sixty minutes that could help

you to get to where you want to be.

Testimonials

I really enjoyed my call with Emma. Being able to send my questions over beforehand made our time together so much more valuable. I left with clear, actionable next steps and finally understood how to budget for this lifestyle. That gave me so much clarity and direction. Highly recommend!

Meg

Emma's session was incredibly helpful. She took the time to understand my background and helped me see how my existing skills could translate into the VA world. She suggested niches and services that genuinely suited me, which made everything feel far less overwhelming. I came away with a clear path forward and a lot more confidence about making the transition. Highly recommend to anyone looking for clarity or direction.

Is this call for you?

This is for you if...

• You’ve been following our journey for a while and you’re ready to stop watching and start doing

• You’ve got a specific question you can’t find a straight answer to

• You want to know whether this is actually realistic for your family, not just in theory

• You’re thinking about leaving your home, travelling full time, unschooling, or building income on the road

• You haven’t done any research yet and want someone else to do the thinking for you

Your Questions Answered

I don't really know what to ask. Is that okay?

Completely. Some people come to this call with a feeling rather than a list, though we need to at least have something in mind that you're working towards. You don't need to arrive armed with 100 questions; you'll receive a list of questions ahead of the call, which are great at prompting you to think, and for giving me an idea of your situation so that we can make the most of our time together.

We're nowhere near ready to leave. Is this call still for me?

If you were ready to leave, you probably wouldn't need my help :-) The families who make this work are the ones who start thinking clearly early, not the ones who panic-plan six weeks before they go. Whether you're two months away or two years away, an hour of honest conversation now will save you months of overthinking later.

What if my situation is really complicated?

Good. The complicated situations are the ones I find most useful to talk through. Neurodiverse kids, difficult work situations, visa questions, family who think you've lost the plot. I've either been through it or I know someone who has. Nothing you bring to this call will shock me!

Will you try to sell me something on the call?

Absolutely not. If something I offer feels relevant to where you are, I'll mention it. But this call has one job, and that's to be useful to you. You're paying for an honest conversation, and that's what you'll get.
