To thank you all for your generosity, I’m sending one of you to Scotland.

I hope I can give back a tiny bit of what you’ve given me and share the magic and beauty.

Here’s the deal.

It’s been a year since I took off to Scotland chasing a dream. That dream only came true because so many brilliant, generous, kind strangers supported me. I’ve decided to mark the one year anniversary of the choice that changed my entire life by paying it forward and choosing one follower to send on their own journey of discovery.

So many people messaged me to tell me that seeing Scotland was their dream, too. We’re going to try to make one of those dreams come true.

The Details

We’re trying to give business to as many Scottish folks as possible with this trip. I’m in the process of speaking with artisans, tour guides, accommodation owners, and tourism entities as we speak! More details will emerge as I get them, but for now I’m aiming for a trip in Fall of 2023!

I’m looking for one person who followed along and supported me on my journey who needs a new adventure of their own.

In only 3 days, I received over 3.600 nominations. I’m committed to reading them all, so I’m diligently working through them. 3,600 submissions with four short answer questions is quite an endeavor - I’ll update as soon as I can! THANK YOU ALL for your participation so far.

Are you a Scottish business owner?
