About Me (Barbara Weibel)

Barbara Weibel After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside.

    Thanks Judy! I highly recommend that everyone find their passion and follow it. I had a very successful real estate career but was truly miserable. Now I barely scrape by financially but love every minute of my life. I’ll take happiness over money any day!

    I tried to vote for you but found the registration process to be very intrusive — and having completed it I’m not sure if I registered or not. It just sort of quit. But don’t worry about that! You’ve got one of the best travel blogs on the web!

    Libbie: No worries, I realize most people just don’t want to join anything else – I have a hard enough time just keeping up with my email, twitter, stumble upon, etc. But thank you SO much for trying, and for the wonderful compliment. That means much more to me than a vote!

  • Julia
