A Welcome to Your Escape

Want to Live Free? Ready to Escape?

Welcome to the Escape Artist’s Path! My name is Walt F.J. Goodridge — author, coach, and the original Nomadpreneur. Once a frustrated Jamaican civil engineer working a job I hated in New York City, I followed my passion, quit the 9-to-5, and escaped the rat race. I now live on a tropical island in the Pacific, and help others do the same.

 

 

 

 

 

“Just because you were born within the arbitrary lines that define a culture or society does not mean you are suited for, best served by, or obligated to seek your bliss within those lines.”

Follow My Footsteps — Live Beyond Borders™

This site — and this philosophy — is about helping you:

  • Prioritize freedom over false security
  • Identify and eliminate your obstructions
  • Create a strategic escape plan
  • Become a Nomadpreneur™
  • Find and define your tribe

The formula I used — and now teach — is simple:

V = P² – O
Escape Velocity = Plan × Preparation – Obstruction

🔓 Free Your Mind, Then Your Life

We’ve all been conditioned to follow paths that lead to confinement: financial, emotional, geographical. The Escape Lifestyle is about rewiring your expectations and rewriting your story. If you’ve ever said:

  • “I don’t want to spend 40 years doing this.”
  • “There’s more to life than what I’m doing now.”
  • “I wish I could just leave and start over somewhere new.”

…then you’ve already started the journey.
