The Stranger Challenge
Inspired by Rose Barroga's "365 Strangers in 365 Days" journey (@humanityintravel on IG), "The Stranger Challenge" is a real-life social experiment designed to push you out of your comfort zone and show you how much your life can expand when you do!
What actually happens?
You’ll join a small group of strangers for an in-person experience where I personally guide you through a series of social challenges.
These Stranger Challenges are designed to help you:
- Start conversations with people you’d normally never approach
- Move through fear, awkwardness, and rejection to become braver in real-time
- Promote your advocacy since you can pick a challenge related to your interests
- Create viral content for yourself as the format itself is naturally high potential
- Make unexpected connections and meet new friends who will inspire you
Some challenges are inspired by Rose's videos. Others are tailored to you — your personality, your comfort level, or completely random for the thrill of it!
Think of it as a playground for courage!
What you’ll walk away with
- Ready-to-upload, high-potential VIRAL content
- Be featured in the '365 Strangers in 365 Series' on @humanityintravel
- A MUCH better relationship with fear (it stops controlling you!)
- Valuable connections with fellow brave strangers & like-minded creatives
- And a glimpse of how GOOD life can get when you stop holding back!
Are you ready to be braver? See you at the event, stranger!
Night Connect: Games, Masterminds & Mixers
Skip the awkward small talk. This evening is built for actually meeting people.
We’ll run networking games, small mastermind groups, and speed dating for both business and personal connections — plus a few other structured ways to meet the room without hovering by the bar hoping someone starts a conversation.
Then we eat, drink, and keep the night going. Dinner and drinks are pay-your-own, so come hungry, stay as late as you want, and leave with real conversations instead of a pocket full of unused business cards.
Nomad & Entrepreneur Island Hopping
Paid side event. Included for Gold ticket holders; other ticket holders can purchase.

Scaling Your Social Media With AI
You can't DM 1,000 people a day, but with the right system, you don't have to. This session reveals how to build automated workflows into your social strategy without losing the human touch. Learn how to turn generic post comments into meaningful DM conversations that qualify leads and sell your services while you sleep. Stop trading time for replies and start building a 24/7 sales system that works as hard as you do.
Augmenting Yourself: Building AI Systems Around Your Gift
Most people reach for AI to replace work. The sharper move is to augment yourself first: build systems around your actual gift so AI covers what you lack instead of diluting what you are great at.
Drawing on his own path across writing, building businesses, and Khun Camp's AI systems work, Shawn shows founders and creators how to install AI as an operating shell around their strengths, not a crutch that flattens them. The session is practical, lived, and built for operators who want leverage without losing their edge.
3 Things I Learned After Going All In on Running a Fully AI Company
This session shows you what a business run on AI can actually produce: more output with less overhead, faster delivery, and new offers that were impossible before. I shut down a 30-person agency and rebuilt it as a company run almost entirely by AI at a fraction of the cost, with just me at the center. You see the exact systems on screen and the results they generate, then leave knowing the first one to build so you get the same outcomes in your own business. No theory, real systems, clear results.

Vibecoding 101 – Build Any App You Want
Walk in with an idea. Walk out knowing how to turn it into a live app — without writing or understanding a single line of code.
This is a practical Vibe Coding 101 for nomads, founders, and anyone who’s tired of waiting on developers. You’ll learn which tools exist and which ones I would recommend for which kind of app/job.
I will give away a vibe coded app of mine for free that:
- that saves you hours on a daily basis
- runs FOR FREE on your local computer
- usually costs 15 USD per month
- Took me 24h to build
I will give you a clear picture of what’s actually possible and what isn’t.
I’ll show you real Vibe Coded apps I’ve shipped created, how long each one took, and the best practices that get the most out of the tool.
Then I’ll walk through how to get your new app online — still without touching code. Myself I have no coding background and do no know how to code at all - that´s a skill that AI (ALREADY!!) made entirely obsolete.
The internet democratized information and removed the gatekeepers.
AI is democratizing Software Creation (among many things) - And just like the DOT COM era - if you start early you have enrmous potential and leverage over anyone else!
No coding experience. No Laptop required to partizipate.
How To Get Your Brand Mentioned on AI Answers
1. How AI search works vs How Google search works
2. What earns a citation & answer mentioned - AI overviews & ChatGPT, covering technical, content & pr
3. Measuring AI visibility
4. Best practices overall

Vibe Coding Live: Build a Brand-New App With Cursor in 90 Minutes
Let´s builThis is the hands-on follow-up to the Cursor talk — a live, interactive workshop where we don’t just talk about building with AI. We actually do it.
You’ll watch Cursor build an entirely new app in real time, from first idea to working product, inside the 90 minutes of this session. No coding experience required. No Cursor experience required. You don’t need to write or understand a single line of code.
The session is interactive from the start. Together we’ll decide what to build — an app, a website, a tool, whatever the room comes up with. You’ll suggest features, directions, and constraints, and I’ll show live how to turn those ideas into something real with Cursor.
By the end of the workshop, we won’t have a slide deck. We’ll have a newly built product — created in front of you, shaped by the group, and finished before the session ends.
If you want to see vibe coding in action, not just hear about it, this is the session.d an app together! Live during the workshop!

You Can’t Outrun Your Life: How to Use Travel as a Catalyst for Reinvention
Travel is often framed as an escape—a temporary break from the routines and responsibilities of everyday life. But what happens when travel stops being a vacation and becomes the environment where your life unravels… and begins again?
After leaving the United States to rebuild her life through long-term solo travel, Jessica Hagmaier quickly learned that changing your location doesn’t magically solve your problems. In fact, it often exposes them. During her first year abroad, the collapse of her primary income source triggered a financial spiral that ultimately led to bankruptcy, difficult personal choices, and the realization that reinvention rarely happens the way we imagine it will.
Yet within that uncertainty came clarity. By confronting the realities she had spent years avoiding and intentionally redesigning her life around freedom rather than convention, Jessica discovered how travel can become a powerful catalyst for personal reinvention.
Blending candid storytelling with practical insight, this talk challenges the myth that major life change requires perfect timing or flawless execution. Instead, it explores how ordinary people can use new environments, intentional choices, and reduced complexity to rebuild their lives (and business) in ways that are more aligned, authentic, and sustainable.
Pursuit of Work-Life Balance: Freelancer? Business Owner? or an Artist?
Record of trial & error in search of finding the type of work that's right for me. From someone who's tried & tested diverse income models.
How I designed my work-life portfolio, and am pivoting as I go.
From Resume to Resonance
I spent 12 years building a career that looked right - The kind your parents can finally explain to relatives.
This isn’t a “follow your passion” talk. It’s about what happens when you realise you’ve been successful… at the wrong thing.
After enough detours, breakdowns, and “what am I doing?” moments — I didn’t pivot. I recalibrated.
Now I build work that fits me, not the other way around. I will be sharing different ways that anyone can do the same.
If your career works on paper but feels off in your gut — this one’s for you
- Careers don’t always move in straight lines — and detours often build your real edge
- External success and internal alignment are two very different things
- A meaningful, location-independent career is built on clarity, not just courage"

The Importance of Sleep for our Overall Health & how to improve sleep with Supplementation
Sleep plays a big rule for our overall health, but often sleep is negleted, especially as a digital nomad by Jetlag, changing accomodation or climate areas. Therfore I will first explain how „bad“ sleep will negative effect our body and afterwards I will give some important advices to support our sleep quality especially during travelling with focus on micronutrients supplementation
Building Your Social Wellness Tribe

The $X Million Freedom Number: Designing a Portfolio That Funds Your Wildest Adventures
What if your money didn’t just support your lifestyle, but actively funded your wildest dreams? From spontaneous month-long safaris in Africa to buying a mountain cabin in Europe or sailing the Greek islands indefinitely?
In this inspiring session, we’ll crack the code on your personal Freedom Number, the exact amount you need to live life on your terms and not someone else’s. Discover how digital nomads are building borderless portfolios that generate income while you’re off exploring multiple countries or simply waking up wherever the next flight takes you.
You’ll leave with:
A clear formula to calculate your Freedom Number based on your dream lifestyle
Practical, nomadic-friendly investment strategies
Mindset shifts that turn investing from a chore into your ultimate freedom machine
Perfect for digital nomads ready to move from “surviving remotely” to “thriving wildly.”
The Nervous System Reset Every Entrepreneur Needs
Entrepreneurs and digital nomads often chase freedom, yet many still carry chronic stress, mental overwhelm, and emotional fatigue in their bodies. Constant travel, building businesses, and navigating uncertainty can keep the nervous system stuck in high-performance survival mode.
In this experiential session, I guide participants through a powerful exploration of how stress and emotional patterns are stored in the body and how we can release them through somatic practices.
We begin with a short educational segment on nervous system regulation and why mindset work alone is often not enough. From there, participants will experience a guided somatic journey including breathwork, movement, and music to support emotional release and reconnection.
This session offers a reset for the body and mind, helping entrepreneurs and creators move from stress and survival into clarity, creativity, and alignment.
Participants will leave feeling grounded, energized, and reconnected to themselves, others, and the land.

How to Build Your Own Viral Signature Series
Most people trying to grow online chase viral moments. But Rose a.k.a. @humanityintravel built a following by doing the opposite: committing to ONE thing that combines everything she truly cares about and turning that into a compelling challenge: her flagship series "365 Strangers in 365 Days."
This one signature series is now the foundation of how she monetizes her work and builds everything else she's creating.
So, this is for you if:
- You have real expertise (a business, an expert skill, a compelling personal story) but no idea how to package it into content that can accelerate your business
- You're a freelancer, VA, or remote worker building your own name and don't know where to start turning your work into visibility
- You've been casually posting content for months or years and still don't know what actually makes someone stop scrolling
- You've actually filmed a lot of interesting content but can't seem to know how to package them the right way
- You've watched other people "blow up" doing less than you and can't figure out what they have that you don't
- You're starting from zero and don't want to waste a year figuring this out the hard way
In this workshop, Rose breaks down the actual mechanics behind a signature series that gets remembered.
The people who master this are the ones turning followers into clients, audiences into income, and one good idea into a business. If you want to build your own signature series with Rose directly, 1-on-1 storytelling mentorship spots are available after this talk.
Your Freedom Number: Global Investing for the Life You Want
Most people know they should save and invest, but fewer know exactly what they are working toward.
In this session, I will share a practical framework for defining financial freedom, estimating your personal freedom number using concepts such as the 4% rule, and building a simple global portfolio around the life you want.
We will explore how income, spending, saving rate, time, and geographic arbitrage can affect your journey. I will also introduce the Bogleheads approach to investing, including broad diversification, low costs, simplicity, and long-term consistency.
The session is designed for both US and international audiences. Participants will leave with a clearer idea of the lifestyle they want, an approximate number to work toward, and a practical system for making progress over time.
Tax 101 for VAs: Tax Basics Every VA Should Know
You're earning, your clients are paying, but do you actually know what to do next? This beginner-friendly session walks virtual assistants through the basics: whether you need to register, how BIR works for freelancers, what to do when clients ask for receipts, and how to set money aside so tax season doesn't catch you off guard. Just the essentials you need to stay legal and keep more of what you earn.

How to Structure Your Life Like a Global Citizen
Living internationally sounds freeing until visas, taxes, banking issues, contracts, and residency rules start colliding across borders. This session breaks down the practical legal and operational foundations digital nomads, freelancers, and remote founders should understand when building a long term life abroad. We will cover common mistakes people make with LLCs, tax residency, remote work arrangements, international payments, and cross border compliance, along with the difference between internet myths and real world legal risk. Designed for both aspiring and experienced nomads, this talk focuses on creating a sustainable international lifestyle that is flexible, protected, and built to last.
HEARIM: Building Trust in Remote Work
Remote work is not only about freedom, travel, or finding online jobs. It also depends on trust.
In this talk, Tressia introduces HEARIM, a Korean-inspired communication concept for understanding unspoken expectations and building trust across cultures. Many misunderstandings in remote work happen not because people lack language skills, but because expectations are unclear, indirect, or left unsaid.
Attendees will learn how to recognize hidden expectations, communicate with more awareness, and build stronger trust with clients, teams, collaborators, and communities while working across cultures.

The P.O.V. Framework: Stop Underpricing Yourself
Before "digital nomad" was a hashtag, Trisha Velarmino speaker was already living it. 17 years of building a travel business from wherever she stood, long before Wi-Fi cafés and co-living spaces made it trendy.
Along the way, she cracked a challenge most nomad talks skip: how do you get high-spend markets to pay premium rates for a business built somewhere the cost of living and perceived value starts lower?
In this story-driven keynote, she shares the P.O.V. Framework (Position, Own, Value), the shift that took her from competing on price to commanding it.
Expect real stories, real rate changes, and a practical lens for any nomad ready to stop underpricing themselves and start building a business that travels and earns anywhere.
How to Build a High-ticket Offer
This workshop is designed to equip you with high-level strategies, frameworks, and insights that can help you position yourself more effectively, create stronger offers, and pursue higher-value opportunities.
However, no workshop, mentor, or training can guarantee results. Your outcomes will ultimately depend on your willingness to learn, take action, apply what you learn, and consistently execute over time.
Every participant's journey is different. While many people gain clarity, confidence, and actionable next steps from experiences like this, your success will be determined by how you implement the resources and insights shared.
This workshop is educational in nature, and individual results will vary.

SLOW BUSINESS AND 4 PULSES OF CYCLICAL MARKETING
Do we want to reconnect with our humanity and a slower way of doing business, or do we want to speed up even more with AI?
For years, the world was obsessed with scaling fast, and many digital nomads, remote workers, creators, and entrepreneurs quietly burned out. That’s changing. More and more of us want to slow down, and with AI promising to reduce effort, this might make it truly possible. Each business will find its own way. In this talk, Nat shares one of those paths.
Even if AI can do marketing in seconds, this talk shows how Slow Business and the 4 Pulses of Cyclical Marketing keep you in charge of what matters in your business.
Most importantly, with feminine and masculine in balance: strategy and intuition, action and rest.
But this is not a spiritual talk. It’s practical. You’ll explore the 4 Pulses framework — identity, expansion, clarity, and focus — and apply it to your digital presence, sales journeys, and even the way you use AI and automation.
With a guided self check-up, you’ll identify which pulse you’re in and what needs attention next, so marketing feels more aligned with the life you want to live.
Before It Was an Industry / “I Built It Before There Was a Name for It”
How do you build when there is no playbook, no established category, and sometimes not even a name for what you are building?
This can cover:
- Seeing opportunities before they become obvious
- The difference between chasing trends and staying long enough to shape them
- Educating the market while simultaneously building a business
- Why longevity is an underrated founder advantage
- Reinventing yourself and your company as the market evolves
The Brand Identity Blueprint
The Brand Identity Blueprint
For digital nomads and remote entrepreneurs, almost one hundred percent of client touchpoints happen online, making a powerful digital presence completely non-negotiable. The Brand Identity Blueprint is a high-impact, framework-driven session designed to strip away the fluff of modern branding and give you the actionable tools to build a distinct identity that does the selling for you when you aren't in the room. This talk breaks down the core elements of the brand pyramid, covering positioning, personality, and promise, while diving deep into the psychological mechanics of color, typographic storytelling, and the critical rules of visual contrast. You will walk away with a practical checklist to ensure your brand assets are simple, memorable, and adaptable across everything from tiny app favicons to massive global billboards.
How To Channel Your Creativity As A Traveller
While having the entire world as your office sounds ideal, it is incredibly easy to fall into creative ruts when you are simply staring at the exact same laptop screen across different time zones. How To Channel Your Creativity As A Traveller is a session designed to teach you how to actively engage with your surroundings and translate global environments into profound creative breakthroughs. The session begins with a live sensory visualization exercise to reset your mental state before exploring how to deeply connect with the unique architecture, rich history, and vibrant textures of the places you visit. By learning to intentionally integrate these global influences into your perspective, you will expand the depth of your creative output, enrich your brand identity, and fundamentally transform the way your work resonates with the world.

The Human Edge: Creative Strategy in an AI-Powered World
AI is changing how we create, but not why people connect.
In this session, I'll share how creative strategy, human psychology, and scalable systems can help freelancers, creators, and business owners build businesses that thrive beyond location.
Through real case studies—including campaigns that contributed to over $50M in revenue and a single creative that generated a 13.4 ROAS—you'll learn how intentional strategy outperforms random content.
You'll also walk away with practical frameworks you can immediately apply, including AI prompting for creative work, static ad concepts that consistently perform, and a simple system for creating content that scales without losing the human touch.
Whether you're building a personal brand, freelancing, or growing a business, this session is designed to help you think more strategically—not just create more content.
