Manage episode 380082481 series 3517282
What if you dared to quit your day job and embark on a thrilling adventure? That's precisely what we, David and Michelle, did when we traded our corporate lives for a troop carrier and the endless roads of Australia. Recalling our life-changing scuba diving holiday in Vanuatu, we share how we ended up joining the Toyota Land Cruiser Club, and how a cancer scare led us to a spontaneous and life-altering journey to Cape York. We'll take you through the trials and triumphs of our exciting journey, backed by the power of the internet and our popular website, Beach and Beyond, which helped us connect with a vast community of 10,000 like-minded individuals.
The adventure doesn't end there, though. We delve into our heartwarming experience in Birdsville, a small town that inspired us to use our platform to support local businesses. We'll discuss how we balanced our wanderlust with financial realities by picking up contract jobs in Sydney, and our journey across the continent to Perth. As we reminisce about the birth and growth of our business, ExplorOz, we'll reveal how we integrated maps into the platform and how the business model evolved over time. So, get ready for a wild ride as we share our adventures and misadventures and valuable lessons we've gathered along the way. Stay tuned for more insights into the ExplorOz business in our next episode!
