About Jo Barnes
Hey I’m Jo Barnes 👋
After 15 years of (semi) nomadic living across 45+ countries, while building 6 & 7 figure online businesses on the road, I've realised that adventure has no age limit, and our best years are still ahead of us!
In my newsletter, I share:
Smart ways to fund your travels after 50, without building a startup or working 24/7
Practical mindset shifts to help you get out of your own way and build a life of freedom, connection, and meaning
Tips for sustainable, joyful, and purpose-led nomadic living
Real stories from the road (the fun, the frustrating, the slightly unfiltered)
Plus the occasional unsolicited musing on ageing, starting over, and living life like you mean it.
My Story
It all began in 2010 when we left the UK with our 4-year-old daughter under our arm to pursue a nomadic lifestyle and start our online adventure. Within a year, we’d generated over six figures online and were splitting time between Cyprus, the UK, and Australia.
Eventually, we needed a more stable base for our daughter's education, so we chose Phuket, Thailand, having travelled and stayed there many times before. Yet we continued to explore extensively, visiting 45+ countries while simultaneously building multiple successful online businesses and a 7-figure Amazon FBA business which we sold in 2020.
