Travelers often find each other quite by accident. And no how different their backgrounds and experiences, travelers can usually find that they have a lot more common ground than they might initially think.

Jen Rice is an American traveler, currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia, who comes from a high-powered business background; I spent my whole life around universities. But once the topic turned to travel, we were speaking the same language: exploration, experience, opening to the world.

We had a great talk. Not only was it interesting to hear about Jen's travels, but also how her business and travel experiences are deeply entwined.

Jen's Bio:

Jen Rice is an American global nomad, executive coach, strategy mentor, photographer, and writer. Her 6-year solo-travel journey through 24 countries has been deeply transformational, rewiring how she listens to her gut, emotions, and the deeper knowing beneath the noise. Along the way, she uncovered a powerful insight: that leadership, strategy, and team performance all depend on how leaders think, not what they think about. That realization fuels her mission today: to help executives and teams achieve more together through a Whole-Mind approach.

Before launching her company, Groundbreaking, Jen spent three decades in management consulting, helping global brands unlock growth and efficiency through customer-centric strategy.
