My Story

At first I thought I would be a doctor, then a lawyer, next I tried my hand at teaching and then running hotels...Safe to say I'm winging it just like everyone else!

I've always had a love for travel, but I also knew that full-time travel is often considered unrealistic. I went to university, worked "typical" jobs and realized I had never been happier than when I was travelling. Living outside of my comfort zone and being spontaneous is where I thrive. I decided to pack up my life and move across the world alone. Two weeks later I left, and I have never looked back since. Now, nearly three years later, my goal is to share my love of travel with others. I want to show people that full-time travel is accessible for anyone. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely not always sunshine and rainbows, but neither is anything in life. So welcome to my adventure, where I'm getting REAL with you guys. How I got started, what it takes to travel full-time, how to sustain yourself, the lessons I've learned, the mistakes I've made and everything else along the way.
