The Journey to Freedom

 

Hi, I’m Marc Gray!

I grew up in Scotland but have spent much of my life exploring the world.

Now, I call Croatia home…for now, where I live with my incredible wife Layla, our two daughters Freya (7) and Eira (6), and our lively dogs, Bronson (an American Staffy) and Baine (an American Pocket Bully).

They even have their own Instagram – Check them Out

At 18 years old, I decided to leave Scotland and set out to explore the world with no qualifications and no money.

My first step?

Volunteering in Zambia at Children’s Town, deep in the African bush—a transformative experience that sparked my love for adventure.

From there, I was unstoppable.

Over the next 20+ years, I traveled to over 50 countries.

I worked in roles ranging from armed anti-poacher in Zambia’s Kafue National Park

I spent years again in the Bush and all over the World as a PMC (Private Military Contractor)

I worked in China during the SARS epidemic.

I backpacked through India twice.

Worked in Guatemala and hitchhiked through every country in Central America all the way down to the Darian Gap.

I trained volunteers in the USA about safety and what to expect in both Africa and India.

I could go and on about all the places I was, people I met and craziness that I did or saw!

Despite all these experiences, working a traditional office job wasn’t for me.

So, like many, I searched online for “How to make money online,” and the rest is history.

Life Today

Today, I share my passion for online business with a global audience.

Over the past 12 years, I’ve mastered internet marketing, turning failures into a career that supports my family and gives us the freedom to live life on our terms.

Layla and I also manage Zadar Guided Tours, an online tour business.

Though my primary focus is helping others achieve success online.

What I Do?

On my platforms, I provide tools, tutorials, and insights to help people navigate the world of online entrepreneurship.

Whether you’re looking for honest product reviews, WordPress tutorials, or strategies to grow a sustainable business, I’ve got you covered.

My YouTube channel is packed with practical content designed to simplify complex topics like SEO, digital marketing, and building a profitable online presence.

Why I Do It

My journey wasn’t always smooth—failures and challenges were plenty.

But each hurdle taught me invaluable lessons that I now pass on to others.

My mission is to simplify online business and help others achieve the same freedom I enjoy.
