When Jolene Jordaan got divorced a few years ago, she ventured into the world of online dating. When that proved unsuccessful, she ventured out into the world itself.

"I said, 'I'll bet you that if I could just stop online dating for a second, and go out and travel and meet people and open my eyes and experience new things, I could find myself and get to a better place,'" she said.

Jordaan, 38, is no stranger to crossing oceans. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in South Africa, her family moved to Irvine, California, when she was a teenager. She's still based there, and owns JB Marketing, an advertising agency.
