Taly Goren

Taly Goren has spent thirty years living as a global nomad, moving between the US, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Belize, and more, before finally making her home in Bulgaria. A storyteller by nature and an adventurer by choice, Taly's writing pulls back the curtain on the "postcard-perfect" life to reveal the messy, high-stakes reality hidden behind the travel photos.

Her memoir, Island Time: Locked in Paradise, is drawn from her most transformative adventure: managing a luxury resort in Belize during a global pandemic. From battling digital pirates to navigating the challenges of cross-cultural employee management, Taly writes with the honest, weary, and sophisticated voice of someone who has seen paradise fail, and found something more authentic in the wreckage.
