hi, I'm Sarah
Full time adventure 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 an entrepreneur & long term traveler (someone pinch me!!).
After I finally quit my soul-crushing Fortune 5 job to pursue a chaotic, broke, but happy life of freedom, 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, creative itineraries, & 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, unique travel experiences, guides, and stories about the rookie mistake's I've made & lessons learned.
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.
