Meet Monica
Travel Host, Speaker, Author, & Coach
Monica Ortega
Hey all! I’m a professional on-camera host, speaker, author, actress, and pivoting coach from Holt, Michigan. I created the online travel show Monica Goes in 2014 to inspire others to break out of their comfort zones and go on adventures. As someone who's afraid of everything, I’ll put myself through almost anything to show that if an average everyday person like me can do these things, anyone can.
We’ve produced and hosted over 100 episodes, created destination videos for over 40 DMO's, and been featured on Matador Network, USA Today's 10Best, Insider Travel, REI, and more!
I speak at events around the country helping others to embrace change and create their own dream life. My book The Power of Pivoting - How to Embrace Change and Create a Life You Love is a #1 new release and inspiring people around the world to lean into their own pivots.
I’ve been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years and been seen in over 20 commercials on TV. I emcee at some of the biggest music festivals in the nation and also a co-host on the podcast Stumblin' Forward which is all about the missteps of entrepreneurship and life.
When I’m not traveling, I can usually be found out on a hiking trail with my adventure dog Millie or hanging out my husband and son in Denver, Colorado.
