About me
Hi, I'm Risel - and I inspire people.

I was born in the Caribbean, in the fishing beach town Mayaro in Trinidad and Tobago. Growing up I dreamt of living the kind of life I saw on Christmas cards - snowy winters, changing seasons, wide highways and canoe rides.  That dream eventually  became a reality when I moved to Canada.

While living there, I prayed for God to show me as much of this big, beautiful world as possible. In 2015, after 25 years in the insurance industry, I took a leap of faith. I left behind the career I knew, without knowing what would come next - only trusting that I was meant to do and be more.  

That decision changed everything.  I sold my home and belongings, learned how to create passive income and embraced life as a minimalist digital nomad. Between 2020 and 2022 I lived in over 250 places, carrying most of my life in a single medium sized suitcase.

Along the way people from around the world began reaching out to me sharing how my journey and posts inspired them.

Here on All Inspiration! you'll find short, heartfelt reflections on my God guided life, travels, people I meet and lessons I learn along the way - stories designed the uplift and encourage. Each post takes just a minute or two to read, but I hope they leave a lasting impression. 

Thank you for visiting my page. I invite you to read, connect and be inspired - and if you'd like, reach out, I'd love to hear from you.

What people say about Risel

Karema - Germany

Risel and I met supernaturally in a bible study group at a mechanic's shop in Ontario. We were both at completely different chapters of our lives but shared a connection and yearning for God. It wasn't until we both had higher callings, to leave everything in Canada behind and move to Europe that we truly deepened our relationship with one another. Risel has become a major prayer warrior, spiritual mentor and older sister to me.
She has profoundly impacted my life to continue the path of becoming a strong, courageous and spiritual woman who lives confidently in her truth. She is a role model, inspiration and light of wisdom. She is one of the most generous, reliable and caring souls I have the honour to call a friend. Anyone who has the pleasure to cross her path will certainly be inspired by her spirit, story and shining nature.
