hi, I'm Sarah
Full time traveler, corporate quitter, scuba diver, & world's okayest travel blogger
However you want to spin it, I'm a professional pivoter- a reinvention expert who went from living my dreams in marine biology to a miserably fancy, soul-sucking desk job to a creative entrepreneur & long term traveler (someone pinch me!!).
After years of my wild heart chasing the unfamiliar across the globe, I was desperate to quit my soul-crushing corporate job to pursue an extraordinary life of freedom. When I finally took the leap, my parents got tired of answering the constant question, "Wait... where is she?" and my travel blog was born!
Now, it serves people like Y-O-U with the travel tips, money saving hacks, & ESSENTIAL resources to confidently seek out your own adventures! Follow along for inspiration and information- for the real deal on bucket list destinations, solo travel tips, itineraries & guides, and stories about the rookie mistake's I've made.
Come along for the laughs while I make all the mistakes (so that you don't have to). Let's go!
My favorite countries? Japan, Iceland, & Turkey
Your girl started with no money & no plan! This travel blog is my love letter to anyone who wants to say "f*ck it," step outside of the societal norms, and go deeper than the average "bucket list" destinations and stale Insta pics to live a life that FEELS better than it looks.
