Having spent my early twenties living in Spain and traipsing around Europe at large, I came to appreciate the beauty of cultural diversity and the thrill of exploring the unknown. Yet having a place to land (I currently hang my hat in Denver, Colorado) brings with it a sense of structure that some of us find necessary to thrive.

While I navigate working full time and globetrotting as much as possible, I’ll be sharing my experience and all the travel and lifestyle hot tips here! I believe that you can romanticize your daily life while still looking forward to the next new destination. After all, why not embrace every facet of life, from the routines that keep our feet on the ground to the adventures that keep us dreaming.
