Travel changed my life, and it can change yours too. It’s not about quitting your full time job and traveling year round (although it can be). Everyone is different. It can be about taking the leap to go on your first international trip, flying solo, going to the closest city and checking out a new restaurant, or a hike you’ve been wanting to go on for years. Travel is accessible everywhere.
I believe that we are meant to connect with places and people. It enriches the mind and changes the way you think. The people you meet and the experiences you have give you an improved ability to empathize with different situations and people, shape who you are and increase your sense of belonging and purpose.
I am here to help you travel slower, smarter, more purposefully, and affordably!
I started this website at a major transitional phase in my life. Essentially, I decided to commit to the travel life. I wanted the flexibility and the insane feeling to be able to travel forever. I dislike this next sentence but I’ll say it anyway. I worked a corporate lifestyle for years and then I quit, politely of course, with a smile on my face. As much as I dislike that sentence, I’ll never forget the feeling of walking home after my last day. I felt like I won a million dollars when in reality I knew that I seriously had to save and spend my money wisely if I wanted to travel long term. Fast forward 4 years. I am still traveling and believe that the best of it is yet to come. I am now free to create my own path and do what I love the most, travel.
My travel addiction started when I studied abroad for a summer in college - specifically when I started to tear up inside of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona because I was in awe of how beautiful it was. Since then, I have traveled to over 40 countries and added hundreds of want to go stars to my Google Maps. Some of my favorite trips were when I spent 10 months in Latin America solo, spent 3 months in Europe with my best friend, explored Vietnam solo, spent Thanksgiving in Morocco, scuba dived in the Philippines, backpacked 30+ miles in the US, saw massive glaciers in Patagonia, lived and volunteered in Hawaii for 6 months, and went to a remote region in a small country in Africa.
My friends say I hustle to make this type of living work but I like to call it being financially smart and extremely dedicated. I put my money where my heart is. I work hard and save my money for experiences, like swimming with great white sharks (still on my want to do list), race car driving (which I did), visit the pyramids (going there soon!), and eating at one of the top 50 best restaurants in the world (which I did).
Traveling can be more than a vacation, wallet eater, and planning headache. It has the power to spark creativity, foster gratitude, transform our comfort zone levels, and impact our health, mood, and environmental footprint.
Reconnect with your true self, overcome your fears, create unforgettable memories, and challenge yourself to learn more about the world and yourself.
