Karen King is an Australian entrepreneur and full-time international traveller who has been building and running location-independent businesses since 2015. She is the founder of The Escapepreneur - a pathway, platform, and community helping online business owners build freedom-based businesses that give them the freedom to choose how they live.
Karen also created ESC Hub, an all-in-one business software platform that replaces up to 20 tools for coaches, solopreneurs, and online business owners - combining CRM, email marketing, funnels, bookings, automations, course delivery, and community in a single platform, backed by daily live coaching and genuine human support.
Her story began in 2014 when burnout and a drawing by her daughter - captioned "my mum's favourite thing to do on the weekend is sleep" - became the turning point that led her to sell everything and leave Australia with her family. Today, she has travelled to 60+ countries while building a business around one belief: life's too short for ordinary when extraordinary is an option.
