Martine’s Dream has also become a catalyst for Debbie to redesign her lifestyle. She has opted to remove freezing winters from her calendar. Five months out of the year she travels East and South in search of warmer temperatures, new vistas and inspiration. “My lifestyle has become global, as I search out more dynamic prints and design techniques to bring to my customers. Traveling facilitates my business and as the business grows, it facilitates my travels. It’s all interconnected”. Since her first trip to India, Debbie’s nomadic radar has led her to Tanzania, Brazil, Kenya and Thailand. “My next must see destinations are Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia”. Although her itinerary may change, her travel gear remains the same; a backpack, guide book and camera. ‘My desire to step out of my comfort zone has taught me a lot about myself. I return from each trip more whole than when I set out. Through traveling I have gained a greater appreciation for the world and my place in it, and for that I am grateful”.
