The Sojourn Experience

Curating Inner and Outer Journeys for a Greater Good

The Sojourn Experience is a company that reflects the many years spent as an Emmy-winning television producer, international traveler, and happiness mentor. Since the late-90s, I have produced shows on all seven continents. Then did another lap around the globe, walking more than two thousand miles training and doing marathons as fundraisers. I have also spent a decade plus researching the art and science of happiness. Today, I am the North American Ambassador for the Transformational Travel Council. I curate and guide sojourns for the solo traveler, private groups, corporate retreats, and alumni organizations. And yes, I still produce television shows.

Picture Happiness: Take a Shot

Mentoring through various programs, workshops, and curated luxury travel retreats around a subject that I have been obsessed with for over a decade, Happiness. My journey started when I wanted to find a better way to deal with the stress of being a television producer.

Sojourn Explorers

Curating bespoke adventures throughout the world. A portion of each trip goes to the nonprofit organization One Percent for the Planet. This mission comes after spending five years traveling to all seven continents, entering and walking marathons as fundraisers.

Sojourn Media

After more than two decades of producing award-winning television throughout the world, I am now stepping into a role where I nurture promising show ideas. I look to build partnerships with writers, directors, or producers who have great content, however, lack access. These are projects that inspire, inform, or in some way motivate people to take action.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and positive reading material list. Too many groups I’m on keep sending doomsday links and emails and just instilling all sorts of fear out there. But I love the silver lining in your 8 Good Things. Time to stop and reassess.
