Panayiota B's current jobs
We are into radical giving to create structural change by giving power to individuals trying to transform their community. We support grassroots organizations that were created by members who identify as the population that they are serving. We understand that there are too many gatekeepers in the nonprofit industrial complex and we are working on using our wealth to break down those gates.
My husband and I have decided to embark on a journey that no parent of a young toddler in their right mind would normally decide to take part in, traveling the world nonstop for 3 years. We put our extremely successful careers on hold, donated everything that did not fit in our small backpack and left for our journey in 2017. Our plan is to share the planet with our son to teach him at a young age about travel, family, and food. All three of these topics have something in common to us, and that is culture. Learning the culture of other people, and countries enjoyably are something that our recent media-driven world has made many people fear. We couldn't stand to have our son grow up without exposure to the idea that learning culture and openness is a pillar of character that leads to acceptance enabling one to create harmony in society. As of 2020, we traveled to 47 countries with our child. We invite you to join us in our adventure by following our blog, and social media. Let us share our videos, photos, and writing as we are Nomadic'ing. Follow us on instagram @wearenomadicing Visit our website: www.nomadicing.com
