A few days ago I had a crazy dream. It started like this:
My mom and I got off some sort of train, and then a Giant Rainbow bird, that sprouts balloons attacked me. I waved my arms frantically, and the bird flew away. Then, some guy shows up and I follow him.
We go to an empanada store, and I thought we were going to buy something, so I *Accidentally* Pocket 2 of them.
And then we keep walking.
Eventually I lost the guy I was following and I found myself composing a marching band.
Then, I randomly put the 2 empanadas onto my head, and then they turned into a samurai wig.
And then the whole marching band turned in to samurais and started jumping around. I took the wig off and it turned into the 2 empanadas again.
Then I woke up.
Lainie Liberti is a recovering branding expert, who’s career once focused on creating campaigns for green – eco business, non-profits and conscious business. Dazzling clients with her high-energy designs for over 18 years, Lainie lent her artistic talents to businesses that matter. But that was then.
In 2008, after the economy took a turn, Lainie decided to be the change (instead of a victim) and began the process of “lifestyle redesign,” a joint decision between both her and her 11-year-old son, Miro. They sold or gave away all of of their possessions in 2009 and began a life of travel, service, and exploration. Lainie and her son Miro began their open-ended adventure backpacking through Central and South America. They are slow traveling around the globe allowing inspiration to be their compass. The pair is most interested in exploring different cultures, contributing by serving, and connecting with humanity as ‘global citizens.’
Today Lainie considers herself a digital nomad who is living a location independent life. She and her son write and podcast their experiences from the road at Raising Miro on the Road of Life.
