Hi There!

Since you’re here, you might be dreaming of a life that lets you explore, grow, and maybe live at a pace that feels right to you. 

I’m here to help women like you make that dream possible by showing you ways to fund your journey—whether through free funding, monetizing the skills you already have, or strategically letting go of what you no longer need.

I’m Marcia Hylton, aka Marcia Unbound. I started my digital nomad lifestyle in 2015, and for the past decade, I’ve been living out my dream through travel, writing, and coaching. I’m a move-abroad advisor, digital nomad, and global travel advocate who believes in the possibilities beyond your doorstep.
