I’m making a Left Turn

September 2, 2021
Making a Left Turn

If you follow me on social media, you know I recently celebrated chapter 5.3 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico with some of my good girlfriends.

I don’t know about you but Birthdays and the end of the year are times of deep introspection for me. I think about where I am in my life and where I want to go and what I want to do. I am happy this year because I am exactly where I want to be in my life and I am doing what I really want to be doing for a living. Finally!

You’ve probably noticed that my content on social media is shifting.
 
 You probably notice I’m not talking as much about solo travel and my move to Mexico. This is intentional.
 
While I will continue to solo travel because it is my Favorite thing to do, and I intend to live abroad For the foreseeable future.

I am making a left turn
 
I am making a left turn in terms of how I spend my time and how I contribute to helping people, specifically black women, live authentic unapologetic, and free lives.
 
Let’s face it, there are so many people on social media who are sharing content about solo travel and relocation abroad especially to Mexico. They’re all over Facebook Instagram you name it. And they’re fantastic at it.
 
I just don’t think this is how I can add the most value.
 
Where I know I can add the most value is helping people, specifically black women, develop the mindset to be courageous enough to redesign their lives the way that I did so that they can solo travel and/or relocate abroad if that’s what they want to do.  Or they can live their best life however that looks for them.
 
What I know I can do is help you develop the MINDSET and, in many cases, also get to the MONEY needed to live your best life.
 
So, I am making a left turn.
 
I’m leaning into what I know is my life‘s purpose.
 
I created The BlackWomen Coach™ Directory to connect Black Women Coaches with people, specifically black women, that need their services. I know that being coached by a fantastic black woman helped me develop the mindset I needed to choose my peace and happiness over all else. It’s why I live where I live and have the life that I have now and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
 
I want that for others. I want that for us.
 
The directory goes live this fall if you would like to be notified when it is open for business, subscribe HERE.
 
I also created The Hostile Work Environment Escape Strategy (HWEES) program and Mastermind Community to help people exit toxic hostile work environments with the money to redesign their lives.
 
As I am sure you know, Money provides choices and options. I want to help as many people as possible, especially black women, have the resources to finance their best life. 
 
If you are working in an illegal hostile work environment, you can turn that lemon into lemonade.  You just have to know-how.
 
Too many of us are functioning in work environments that are harming us psychologically and even physically. Too many of us are functioning in illegal hostile work environments. After Managing and overseeing human resources (HR) for over 25 years I know exactly how HR departments function. I am using that knowledge and my skills to help as many people as possible walk away from work environments that are harmful to them and illegal with severance payments that will give them options and choices.
 
I created The Hostile Work Environment Escape Strategy (HWEES) program and Mastermind Community to make the information, tools, and resources about how to walk away from an illegal hostile work environment with severance and without having to file a lawsuit as easily accessible as possible.
 
Learn more about The Hostile Work Environment Escape Strategy (HWEES) program and Mastermind Community HERE.
 
So, while I will continue to take you along on my solo travel adventures and life abroad via my @BaldGirlWillTravel Instagram account, you will see much more on my feed about the importance of coaching, and how to walk away from harmful and discriminatory work environments with your coins.
 
I am making a left turn

Stay tuned!

I am on a mission to make solo travel accessible and fun for everyone, especially Black Women over 40, and to dispel the myth that women over 50 can’t be fashionable, comfortable, and still travel #TeamCarryon.

  • About Me

    Anne Marie

    Hi I'm Anne Marie. I Quit my high six-figure income job, jumped off the hamster wheel, exited the American Rat Race, packed up my house and moved to Mexico in May 2021. Now I am embracing my love of solo travel while working as an HR consultant and connecting Black Women Coaches to those who need them via The BlackWomen Coach™ Directory (www.blackwomencoach.com). I have traveled to over 40 countries and I want Black Women over 40 to embrace solo travel! Stop waiting for your girlfriends, husband, boyfriend to get on the road. Go see the world and live your best authentic unapologetic and free life right now.

    We each have this one precious life – you owe it to yourself to live your life to the fullest NOW!

Solo Travel Safety Tip Hotel edition
Limit access to your hotel room by keeping the “do not disturb“ tag on your door at all times. Only take it off when YOU want the room cleaned or do what I do and just stop the maid in the hallway give her the dirty towels and get clean ones. I really don’t like people in and out of my hotel room so this is what I do to limit access.

you are not not safer in a hotel then you are in a short term rental like Airbnb or VRBO 

your risk are just different.

I spent 15+ years overseeing global security in the international development sector.

The most important thing to remember when traveling alone, especially as a woman, is to practice situational awareness and common sense. If it feels wrong even for a minute don’t do it. 

I share solo travel safety and security advice based on my 15+ years of experience in the downloadable 
Bald Girl Will Travel: Guide to Travel Safety & Security for Solo Female Travelers

At $10 it’s a bargain and it will tell you what you need to know about traveling alone as a woman and doing it safely. It’s been recently updated. 

Grab it at the link in bio. 

Don’t let Social media personalities scare you. You can be safe anywhere in the world. 

Life is short. 
Book the trip.
You’re welcome

    Goree Island is a beautiful place. Goree Island is Goree Island is a beautiful place. Goree Island is a haunted place. 

It is haunted by the souls of our ancestors who passed through the door of no return to unspeakable  horror. Their stay on the island was horrific, but what they went to was even worse and the legacy of that continues.

The horror of it continues.

A horror that has really never ended in many ways 

As horror that some don’t even want us to talk about or teach our children about in school. 

Well, they definitely don’t want us to tell their children what they continue to perpetuate and what their ancestors did.

I can’t say that I enjoyed my visit but I’m glad I went

    San Miguel de Allende Mexico is an ideal destinati San Miguel de Allende Mexico is an ideal destination for solo travel. There’s so many opportunities for special and unique experiences.

A bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth the effort. The Mayan Baths offers you a spa and Hot Springs experience all in one place. It is pricier than some of the other local Hot Springs but it’s a nice way to relax and get away while not being that far away from town. 

I got the VIP package that included a towel, robe, a 50 minute massage, seven hours access to the hot springs, and a three course lunch with three additional beverages (alcoholic or nonalcoholic) included. cost was 3490 pesos ($185 USD) 
somewhat pricey for Mexico, but it was worth it. The facilities are very clean. The locker rooms were very nicely organized, and the attendant was very helpful. The massage was great and the Hot Springs are very relaxing. The outdoor pools were not open because it was quite cold outside but I imagine during the summer months it’s a really great experience to access both the Hot Springs and the outside pools. 

You can contact them to book. If booking a VIP package of 1000 peso deposit is required. 

If planning a trip to San Miguel de Allende I definitely recommend putting this spot on your itinerary. #sanmigueldeallende #mexico #visitmexico #vivamexico #solotravel #safesolotravel #gosolo  #travel #traveltips #blackwomen #blackwomentravel #melanintravel #reels
