Hi! I’m Noni May and I help content creators build a profitable blog and help entrepreneurs reclaim their freedom by staying happy, travel more, working productively, automate systems & by running a better blog+biz on the blog.
New reader? Or in desperate need of some guidance?
I got ya.
This is a blog about everything I love, like my passions for traveling, lifestyle, films, podcasts, self-development, money and all things business & blogging!
The digital nomad culture combines traveling with working a remote job.
With my company N/M, I help entrepreneurs reclaim their freedom to live a life on the road or to create more freedom in their lives just as it is now.
I’ve made a selection of the most read, best and my personal favorite articles to have you started!
Who am I?
Hi! I’m Noni May! I’m from Amsterdam, but I’m always on the road. Currently enjoying life in Oceania (Australia) and traveling a lot.
I’d call myself a digital nomad and I’m living my own dream: enjoying life with a lot of freedom, a location independent business helping entrepreneurs to reclaim their freedom too along the road.
For the past 16+ years, I’ve started several blogs that no longer exist haha.
I started as a street style photographer, had one of the first online flip magazines, a blog with friends, a how-to blog for teens blog and nowadays I blog about travel, business, blogging and money on nonimay.com. Besides blogging I work as a freelance online marketeer and communications specialist.
More about me and what I do and where I was born and where I live and what I do for a living and all that over at About.
2020 update: I recently deleted my social media – more about that later but you can still follow me on Pinterest
