— Some individuals are born with an innate desire to explore the world, and for one remarkable individual, this passion for travel has shaped a unique and vibrant life story.
Born with the travel bug, they have lived in four countries—Guyana, the USA, Switzerland, and Brazil—and have slow-traveled through an astounding 40 countries and 192 cities.
This globetrotter's journey is a testament to the beauty of cultural immersion, resilience, and lifelong learning.
A Polyglot and Cultural Connoisseur
Conversant in seven languages—English, Guyanese Creole, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Mandarin, and Korean—demonstrates not only a love for languages but also a deep respect for the diverse cultures they represent.
This linguistic prowess is complemented by a rich heritage, blending four races—European, Asian, African, and Amerindian—and six ethnicities: Guyanese, American, Chinese, West Indian, Latino, and British.
Family Travel
Holding dual nationalities from Guyana and the USA, this world traveler is also dedicated to raising two Third Culture Kids (TCKs). These young adventurers have already visited 15 countries, gaining unique perspectives and experiences that only a global upbringing can provide. Together, the family has traveled in 2018 to 12 countries across North America, South America, Europe, and Africa, embracing the world as their classroom.
Embracing Unconventional Education The family's educational journey is as unconventional as their travels. They have embraced world schooling, unschooling, and homeschooling, allowing their children to learn through real-world experiences and cultural immersion. Now, they are transitioning to international schooling, integrating their diverse learning experiences with formal education to provide a well-rounded and globally informed upbringing.
Overcoming Adversity
Their journey has not been without challenges. They have navigated the stormy seas of a financial crash and a narcissistic divorce, emerging stronger and more resilient. These experiences have only deepened their appreciation for life's adventures and the strength found in family unity.
Post Traumatic Growth
A New Chapter in Rio de Janeiro Their journey has also led them to establish roots in Rio de Janeiro, where they operate a boutique hotel, casaJOMO.art. This venture not only supports their nomadic lifestyle but also allows them to share their love for travel and cultural exchange with guests from around the world. The boutique hotel in Rio is a testament to their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to creating a home away from home for fellow travelers.
