I find the adventures worth flying across the world for—  the kind that make your friends and family say, “Wait… where is she?” And I’ll help you do it too!

hi, I'm Sarah!

Full time adventure traveler, corporate quitter, ocean & wildlife conservationist, & 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 working in ocean conservation to working a miserably fancy, soul-sucking desk job to an entrepreneur & long term traveler (someone pinch me!!).

After I quit my soul-crushing Fortune 5 job to showcase adventure travel destinations, wildlife, and wild places, my folks 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: people wondering where to start, working on the courage to just go, or thinking, "if not now, when?!" You're in the right place! These are the travel tips, money saving hacks, creative itineraries, & essential resources you need confidently seek out your own adventures. Consider this your unofficial guide to chasing freedom (and nature) around the globe.

You’ll get the tips, the tea, and the “don’t do what I did” warnings. Come along for the laughs while I make all the mistakes (so that you don't have to). There's a big, beautiful world out there- let's go! 

My favorite countries? Japan, Turkey, & New Zealand

I started traveling with no money & no plan. This blog is my love letter to anyone who wants to say "f*ck it," see the world, have courage, and go deeper than the stale Insta pics to live a life that FEELS better than it looks. Let's go!

Like stories? I've got a good one!
