The Pros and Cons of a Digital Nomad Lifestyle

I’m coming up on my 8 year anniversary of full-time travel and about my 6 year anniversary of traveling/working as a digital nomad, and I was talking to my partner about whether

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! We ar Welcome to my little corner of the internet! We are out here chasing our dream life ✨

My journey began back in 2015 when I was working virtually nonstop as a nursing assistant. I took a ‘gap year’ to go backpacking in Europe and that year turned into… well, almost 9 years. 

When no one wanted to travel with me (or couldn’t because of their own goals), I packed my bags and went alone. To this day I 🩵 LOVE 🤍 to travel solo. 

When I ran out of money, I dove headfirst into freelancing with ZERO experience. I can credit the majority of my success going down this path to one of my biggest mentors and inspirations (@esther_inman )

Today I work with incredible clients and get to write for some of the travel bloggers who inspired my own travel! 

I was in Oman in 2019 when my big sister passed away. This moment changed me forever.

Last Halloween I got married in Las Vegas, in a car pack, with Zombie Elvis. Then I moved into my sprinter van to finally explore my home country 🚐 

If this resonated with you at all, you’re in the right place! I’m here to be your digital nomad bestie, your grief bestie, and most of all, your travel bestie. This is a place to let your imagination run wild and chase the dreams you’ve always had in your heart 🩵

Thank you for being here! 🤗

Going on 10 years ✈️💫 And before the “t Going on 10 years ✈️💫 

And before the “trust-fund baby” comments roll in, let me clear this up: 

I’ve actually been working online as a freelancer for about 8 years with the sole purpose of being able to work remotely. 

When I first started traveling, I had saved money from working as a nursing assistant and volunteered in hostels in exchange for a free bed to sleep in. 

I’ve done every job under the sun, from writing ‘erotic’ short stories (yes this is a freelancing job I was once hired for), to managing huge Pinterest accounts and writing blogs for some of the bloggers who inspired my own journey 👩‍💻

I’m really proud of the life and job that I’ve built to allow myself to be location-independent and do what I love most, TRAVEL 🌍

It’s always been my biggest goal to be the ‘fun eccentric aunt’ and I definitely feel like I’m filling that role nicely 🥹
