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.
My Bold Shift from Office Life to
Endless Adventure
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 spend my money wisely if I wanted to travel long term. Fast forward 5 years, I am still traveling, have experienced some of my happiest moments in corners of the world 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 and help people.

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 feeling of the possibility to be able to travel forever. So, after working the corporate lifestyle for years… I quit, politely of course, with the biggest smile on my face.
My Journey Through 55 Countries
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 55 countries and added thousands 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, did a sister trip throughout the Middle East, went to a remote region in a small country in Africa, and worked with communities in the Amazon.
Smart Spending: Investing in
Life-Changing Adventures
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 (saw summer 2023!), and eating at one of the top 50 best restaurants in the world (completed; eating at nice restaurants is my guilty pleasure).
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. I hope to inspire and guide you to reach your dreams and live your best life.
