Navigating life's journey with persistence, one sip and step at a time
Discover Yvette Schmitter & The Turtle Chronicles
About This Journey
I refused to "stay in my lane" and instead forged my own path. Like the sea turtle, I've learned that life isn't about speed—it's about persistence. Through technology, travel, and a glass of bold red wine, I've discovered the power of moving forward even when currents push against you.
As someone passionate about leaving people and places better than I found them, I created this space to share stories of resilience, cultural exploration, and the wisdom found in unexpected places. Join me as we carry our homes on our backs, face challenges with quiet courage, and keep swimming through whatever storms life sends our way.
"Shell strong, glass full."
