I LOVE books. They are a passion of mine that might just be equal to travel. I don’t know, maybe I love them slightly more because they’re cheaper and they don’t require me to taking a ridiculously long flight where I stand behind someone at airport security who doesn’t take their liquids and electronics out of […]

11 Steps to Planning a Stress Free Vacation
I’m a massive planner. I always have been. I could literally spend HOURS (Okay, I do literally spend hours) researching the best places to stay, all the things there are to do, how to get around, and even what souvenirs I should buy while I’m there (is that weird?). Luke and I are headed to […]
How Studying Abroad Allowed Me To Live Overseas For More Than 4 Years
Studying abroad back when I was in college completely changed my life. It was when I really got the itch to travel. It’s when I realized how simple it could be, how inexpensive it could be, and how enjoyable living in another country truly is. I’m excited to share this guest post from Lewi of […]
Transferring Money as an Expat
In the last seven years, I’ve lived in five different countries and traveled to over 20 more. That’s a whole lotta currencies. Every time we move to a new country, we have to deal with closing bank accounts, figuring out how to transfer money to new bank accounts, whether we should send some back to […]
Why I Recommend AirBnB to Everyone I Know (Plus a discount code!)
I LOVE AirBnB. I literally wax poetic about it on a daily basis to anyone that will listen to me. I truly believe that the places I have stayed over the last few years have seriously made my vacations better than if I’d stayed in a hotel. I’ve used AirBnB in Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and […]
How to Get a Summer Internship in Europe & America
I should preface this by saying, this is mostly for currently enrolled university students looking for summer internships in Europe or the USA, but for those that have recently graduated, you may find this helpful as well. Working in Europe as an American, or in America as a European, can be quite difficult once you graduate […]
The Best Websites For Planning Your Travels
Planning your travels, whether it’s only a week long or it’s one that spans months, can be a bit overwhelming. I know how hard it can be to figure out where to even begin the process of planning. After more than six years of booking flights, finding nice places to stay, and figuring out all the […]
How I Make Money as a Digital Nomad: A Six Month Review
Six months ago I moved to Mexico City to start my life as a “digital nomad.” It’s been a real rollercoaster, one where sometimes I felt like a total fish out of water. I’ve had really high-highs and moments where I nearly applied for English teaching jobs (definite low point). It’s a constant learning process. […]
Books that Will Make You Get Up And Change Your Life in 2017
At the end of last year I made a resolution: consume less, create more. Almost every year since 2010, I have attempted to read a book a week. 52 books in 52 weeks. I never actually did it. Not once. But I enjoyed the challenge and I love to read. The trouble was I usually ended […]
How I Left Home with $2,500 and Traveled the World for 6 Years
Last month marked six years since Luke and I set off to see the world. I was 22. I’d just graduated from college and been in a long distance relationship for almost two years. We were tired of spending all of our money on flights and all our time on Skype. We decided to buy […]
