In 2020 Alise decided her next adventure was to take to the open road with the intention of discovering what it was like to fully live, to be wild, and level-up who she wanted to be.

β€œHaving my own business finally allowed me to live by my own moral code and set my schedule according to what my body felt and needed. After a while, I found myself wondering β€˜Is this it? Is this all there is from life? Just these four walls doing that same thing every day for the rest of my life?’ I wanted so much more!! I knew I needed to be in constant change. I wanted to have new experiences. I wanted to be challenged. I wanted Gregg and I to stop giving each other β€˜the leftovers’ and give each other our best.” Together Gregg and Alise donated most of their belongings, let go of the lease to their apartment, and with no home to return to, packed their essentials into their vehicle and have been traveling since April 2021. Airbnbs serve as a home base for their slow-travel itineraries, with Gregg’s road bike and their two cats in tow, they have driven, flown, biked, hiked, and ferried their way across islands, countries, states and villages, having the time of their life.

When she left her six-figure salary to create her first business, Alise had held multiple executive positions. She was a human resource director and controller for Hilton Hotel Corp, and certified regional director of revenue management for other luxury hotel brands. β€œThe skills from my careers perfectly illustrate how someone who wants to be a nomad can look at what they are good at and create a business around those skills.” While she is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, owner of three businesses, Alise’s most talked about β€œdigital nomad job”, on the road, as she travels, is her bookkeeping and business coaching company, Alise Saunders Financial Services. β€œBookkeeping is an excellent digital nomad job because there are no required education, skills or certifications, and the startup costs are so low. There’s a course that teaches you everything you need to know about bookkeeping and how to get that first client. I really enjoy the creative process with clients figuring out what direction they want go to get started on their digital nomad journey.

Years before we actually got on the road as digital nomads, back in August 2017 we put a down payment on a 2016 Class C Serenity Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. My plan was to start my bookkeeping business from the road. Back then, I was terrified about everything having to do with our plan. I had all the fears about money, safety, and I obsessed over technical stuff like how to keep food cold in the fridge, managing water pressure, how to keep mice and bugs outside, how to do laundry, would I have good WI-FI, would there be places for Gregg to ride his road bike, where would we put the cat litter box, and so much more. The day we were supposed to pick up our Serenity, Gregg said β€˜I can’t do it. It's just too small of a space. We have to cancel our order.’ We met with multiple tiny house builders and considered full-sized RVs but it just wasn’t working for us. So, we paused our plans and regrouped.

I started the bookkeeping company, finally leaving my corporate job in August 2018, to focus on growing my business. The work I started in May 2019 focusing on conquering those fears, gave way in early 2020 to a rising energy.

I didn’t know then a year later we’d finally hit the road. I still had so many questions and I didn’t have anyone to ask. I knew that I wanted to be a resource to others in all areas of being a digital nomad.
