Nancy Whitney Reiter is a former economist and corporate market analyst. As a 9/11 survivor and Generation Xer, she found herself questioning the true meaning of “success,” and embarked on a year long travel sabbatical. Her travels took her to Costa Rica and South Africa, where she worked as a volunteer teacher and wildlife researcher.
Thanks to this unhampered time of reflection--unplugging--she decided to abandon the corporate lifestyle in order to pursue her true passions: nature, teaching, and writing. She is also a gifted speaker and enjoys conducting motivational workshops.
She is the author of Unplugged: How to Disconnect from the Rat Race, Have an Existential Crisis, and Find Meaning and Fulfillment. She has appeared on radio and television programs this summer promoting her book. You can see her by visiting: www.UnplugYourHead.com/press.htm
Nancy has lived in six countries on three continents, and has traveled to 40 countries and 17 states to date. She is fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, and is learning Portuguese and Zulu.
Her next book, It's Not Too Late! (To Do What You Love) is due next spring from Adams Media.
