Bio:
Anne-Michelle Wand is an American Expat living her dream of independence and freedom in the blissful Caribbean Islands of Panama. She is an entrepreneur by nature and as a single mother of two, worked hard most of her life and established multiple businesses and diverse streams of revenue to create a life of fulfillment for herself, her children, and of course, for traveling.

Through personal growth and applying tools and resources for wealth creation, she has created a flexible lifestyle that is location independent, and most importantly, has the privilege of helping others in their own personal and professional development as well.

She says that there are two things that get her out of bed every morning: The drive to keep developing herself living every second of life to the fullest, and her deep passion for helping others do the same while living up to their full potential.
