Me & My Journey

Hi! If you've found my blog, it's meant to be!


A Little Bit About Me

Right before we graduated from college back in 2021, my boyfriend and I made a plan to do a bit of traveling before settling down with new jobs. Once we stepped foot off U.S. soil and landed in Europe (our first destination abroad), we instantly fell in love and knew we wanted to continue this lifestyle. After immersing ourselves in new cultures, trying new cuisine and developing an insatiable craving for adventure, our 'bit' of traveling turned into many years of being in a new country every 1-3 months. I don't want to stop traveling any time soon, making friends and memories in every corner of the world. We've been to 23 countries so far with plans to visit many more!


My Vision

After a few months of travel I decided to create my blog. I've always loved writing. My college chemistry professor told me, in so many words, I'm not good at chemistry, but I'm a great writer. My chemical reactions didn't make sense, but my papers on them were amazing otherwise...LOL. My vision has been to tell the stories of our adventures, inspire others to explore new places and to create guides with tips & tricks that will ease your journeys. Each day is an opportunity to see the world and create lasting memories. I've been incredibly blessed to have become a full time traveler, and I am here to help with travels of your own!


I hope to motivate you to pack your bags and get going on your next life-changing journey. There's a whole world out there and it's time you see it. It's now or never!
