info_outlineHi, I’m Kim Cooper, and after raising three kids, moving countries, and living the expat life, I found myself with the empty nest!
With my youngest off to university and my husband still flying back and forth to Budapest every week for work… it hit me.
This was my time. I needed a purpose, something to fill that time which I hadnt had before and had always been so busy.
I’d spent years making sure everyone else was taken care of. But what about me?
That’s when I decided to give something new a go, something that let me travel, build a business, and reconnect with who I am, all at the same time. I have always loved to travel so why not build a business around something I love doing.
And that’s how Freedom to Take Off was born.
This podcast is for anyone, any age from 18, who’s feeling stuck, ready for change, or simply wants to do something for themselves.

Each episode, I’ll be sharing the real stories behind starting a travel business from scratch, tips to design a flexible lifestyle, and conversations with others who’ve taken off, on their own terms.
No pressure. No salesy nonsense. Just honest chats, practical advice, and a whole lot of encouragement.
So if you’re ready to explore new paths, create income from something you love, and finally rediscover your freedom… then hit that follow button.
