Chapter THREE

Digital Nomad - Self Discovery

After 10 years of urban life, Martina felt the need to push her boundaries seeking an alternative and more sustainable lifestyle. She embarked on a self discovery journey around the globe and took her event production skills to an international level. This is when she joined the Envision team. During this time she found a passion for outdoor sports such as surfing, climbing, skiing and high altitude hiking, which fed her appreciation for nature and the elements. She remained very career driven throughout this wandering chapter of her life, and developed a real sense of pride and determination in her work. In 2018, Martina joined the Andrea Bocelli tour – the world-famous tenor – delivering a first class production in 20,000 people capacity arenas and concert halls.

Chapter FOUR

Home - Self Reliance

It was in 2019 that Martina decided to settle in Costa Rica, and a few months later the whole world was shutting down. The year 2020 offered a valuable period of personal and global reflection from which more resilient systems must arise. With the event industry on pause, Martina took the opportunity to expand her professional skills and enrich her personal interests by acquiring new trades and starting new projects. Not only did she taught herself frontend development coding – see Martina’s web creations – but she also awoke her curiosity towards carpentry, herbalism, permaculture, land regeneration and sustainable construction models in tropical environments.
