Gaby Vivas - Episode 141

“Most people of my generation left without anything…

Just with the hope to find a good job, and send money back to our families”

Gaby Vivas is an exceptional human with an incredible story to share.

Growing up under the regime in Venezuela was something a great novelist would struggle to think up.

Her reality was so far removed from anything you would have heard and no doubt experienced yourself.

She left home at 18 without telling her parents or friends.

These days, she is a globetrotting entrepreneur teaching people languages and how best to live a sovereign lifestyle.
