We only have one chance at this adventure called life…. let’s share it together!

Hello everyone!  I’m Domonique and, while I call New Orleans my home, I consider the entire world to be within my reach.  Each of our lives are a journey, and I welcome you to experience mine.  With a zest for travelling and trying new things, I’m anxious to bring others into the adventure, even if we never meet face-to-face.  My yen for experiencing new places and cultures often leads me to set off on spontaneous trips.  I’d like to invite you to takeoff with me as I look to unpack these experiences and what has led me to this point in my life. As the youngest of eight children, adventure has always played a large role in my life – as an adult, I continue to seek out new experiences through my travels. 

As of now, I’ve been able to visit some absolutely amazing places—thirty U.S. states and nearly thirty different countries, giving me the opportunity to immerse myself in some unique cultures and ways of life.  Stepping out of my comfort zone is always my aim, and I love the chance to challenge my fears while experiencing a fresh rush of adrenaline.  Whether it’s trekking with lions in South Africa, climbing the Great Wall in China or swimming with sharks in French Polynesia, my adventures open my mind and renew my spirit.

I’ve had a lifelong passion for helping others that led me to not only pursue a career in psychology, but also earned me a spot as a radio talk show co-host on WBOK 1230AM in New Orleans.  I now utilize my training to motivate organizations and their greatest assets, the people.  As the Director of Human Capital for a charter network in New Orleans, I focus primarily on the recruitment, retention and development of our workforce. 

Through this blog, I look to continue to encourage others as I share stories about my adventures and travels.  I believe that travelling provides psychological benefits, and I will show you exactly how visiting places can positively affect your mental well-being.

This blog is more than just a trek around the globe though – instead, it is my invitation for you to take part in my journey through life.  I’m certain that many of my experiences may mirror some of your own, so in that way I want to create a platform that allows for your story to be told as well. Our existences provide us with lots of mysteries as we try to unravel the meanings behind love, the purpose of life, and the confusion of our careers; as I make my personal discoveries, I look forward to sharing them with my readers to instruct and inspire.  As they say, “the journey is more important than the destination” and that is what I look to present through this blog.  Rather than just sharing generic details about my travels, I look to feed your souls with the psychological benefits of the trip.  I am seeking to capture a sense of exploration and hope while imparting these values through my writing.  I want to help you embrace your own sense of living in the moment and accepting your own truth, even if you decide not to leave the comfort of your home.

Join me while I fulfill my personal destiny and open the deepest parts of my heart as I share my struggles, my secrets, and my successes.  I look forward to having you along for the flight and can hardly wait to get to know you as a friend.  Let’s board this plane together and take off for our next great adventure!
