Happy 2025, everyone! So excited to be here 🤎

I’m Marie, many have said I look and act like the real life Moana from Disney, and considering, I’ve voyaged and lived in 5 countries on my own, I’d gladly accept the title.

• Location: Splitting my time between Bansko (Bulgaria) , Spain and the Philippines 🌴.
• Current Roles (with an ‘s’ because I may be too adhd):
◦ Founder and CEO of Kaya Connections, a wellness x coworking retreat for remote workers and entrepreneurs centered around sustainable travel and self-growth (current destinations are Philippines and Ecuador).
◦ CEO of Adrenaline Marketers, a social-first marketing agency for the travel and wellness industries.
◦ Visionary for a future luxury social-wellness club project centered around longevity, which will be the first of its kind in the Philippines.
• Hobbies: borderline toxicly addicted to surfing and acroyoga. Into content creation, and testing out new low-carb recipes I find on the internet. Trying out calisthenics.
• Favorite Follow/Podcast/Show about Wellness: Mel Robbins, Andrew Huberman, Gretchen Rubin
• Topics You’re Interested in Connecting About: integrative nutrition, psychology, philosophy, personal development, marketing, biohacking/longevity, events (online and irl), personal branding, nomadism/travel
• How You Can Help WGM:
◦ Social media marketing (Organic and Paid Ads)
◦ Video content creation (UGC, and organic)
◦ Marketing audits/messaging
◦ Hosting events and keeping people’s attention
◦ Personal development workshops for employees (in person/online)
◦ Events and retreats creation
• How WGM Can Help You:
◦ Honestly a bit overwhelmed with spearheading this wellness social club project so I’d love to connect with people who has experience:
▪︎ getting funding
▪︎ founding gyms/studios or anything in the real estate section
▪︎ creating roadmaps for investors
◦ Getting connections especially in the NAM side of the world (as most of my networks are in UK/EMEA region)
◦ Spreading the word about our retreats
◦ Also open to exploring partnerships with brands who need help with their socials.
• Let’s connect on LinkedIn :)
