I’ve been traveling and documenting my trips with pictures and journals for years, but have kept them to myself and close family and friends. I’d like to share my world travel experiences, tips, and tricks I’ve learned along the way. My travel style is adventurous, budget friendly, active, and varied. City-girl at heart, living in NYC right now and I love all a city has to offer. But I also love hiking, being immersed in nature, and off the grid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The travel bug bit in my teens with summer programs in Hungary and Israel, but my travels really took off when I studied abroad during college in Florence, Italy. A light class schedule gave me ample time to explore Italy and Europe. I then took time for extended travels between college graduation and starting work full time. Even once I started work, my job used to (prior to COVID) involve frequent travel. This allowed me to add on personal days to work trips and a flexible office culture meant I always was able to take vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excited to share my adventures both local and exotic, domestic and foreign, city and nature. The world has so much to offer and I hope my stories can help you plan your next adventure! Get started with a map view of all the locations I’ve traveled – posts for all of the places will come along incrementally. Lots of catching up to do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
