“8 years ago I quit my employed 9-5 job in London and become a freelancer, and since then I’ve not only worked from all over the world as I have travelled but I’ve become much happier due to there being so much more balance and freedom in my day to day life. It is possible and this step-by-step guide is everything you need to get started.”

“Starting the weekend with 7 complete strangers and ending it with 7 friends for life! Amy bought 7 like minded women all together for the very first ‘The Free Life Cornwall Women’s Weekender’ and what an amazing experience it was! We hiked, swam, surfed, sauna’d, bbq’d and ate pasties on the beach.. but on top of that we laughed, we cried, we shared stories, gave each other advice and built plans on how we can all make our lives just that little bit better! Just being around women from all walks of life and different ages and how we all clicked and got on so well mainly because of our common love for life, fun and adventure was truly an amazing experience to be apart of!

“To say I was nervous about going on a camping weekend with females I didn’t know was an understatement. I’m not a camper and in my mid 50’s in full blown menopause! But have followed Amy for a while and find her inspirational and so decided to just go for it. I am SO pleased I went. Amy went above and beyond and I met the loveliest bunch of ‘girls’ all at various stages of life. We bonded naturally with no awkward moments at all - just supporting each other. The weekend felt like two weeks - we did so much and created some amazing memories. I would recommend anyone considering to just go for it, you won’t regret it! Thanks Amy!”
