About ME

What do I do? What is my business?

I am a freelance travel writer, copywriter, video creator on tik tok, and aspiring marketer hoping to engage more people in the travel community. I hope to help people pursue their dreams and see the world. In addition, I want to help innovative travel companies reach their highest potential and make the biggest possible impact on young people hoping to kick off their travel journeys. 

I have always had a passion for writing; throughout High School and University, English has been my favorite subject. Although I feel the most passionate when writing, it feels like the least amount of work because it's an actual hobby outside the classroom. As a child, I wrote little books for fun (I got too distracted to finish them) inspired by old bedtime stories. During my senior year of High School, I published a children's novel on Amazon, which I have linked in my portfolio! What inspired my decision to create a career in writing was the newfound passion I found for traveling and creating related content. I believe that more people need to learn that traveling is nothing short of worth all of its hype.

 I am 20 years old; I grew up in Maui, Hawaii, and now live in Paris, France, as a student. 

After graduating High School In 2020, during the Covid fiasco, I moved abroad to Paris to learn French and teach English. I ended up becoming an au pair which is what kick started my travel and living abroad journey. My au pair story and tips to do it yourself is on my blog! Yes, it was as quick of a decision as it sounds. That's your first fact about me; I am spontaneous and impulsive. But that has got me where I am today. The decision to move abroad was easy, but no, the move and process itself were not, but that taught me what I know about myself and how to navigate difficult situations by myself. Obtaining a visa during a pandemic was almost impossible, but it didn't stop me. What was supposed to be three months in France turned into seven months. I then came home and knew right away I was meant to stay abroad, so I saved up enough money to last a year and moved permanently to Italy to study at University! All of these events lead to my solo backpacking trip. I visited ten countries and stayed in 19 hostels. I learned so much from that trip and it is one of the main motivations for my blog, so that people can do it too,  even if they are on a budget and young. At 18 years old, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I didn't quite know who I was. At 18, does anyone know? All I knew was that I could see grand opportunities for myself, like I could do anything. I had a calling for adventure, new culture, and new languages. Experiencing this niche world of travel has changed my perspective and made me the person I am today. I am so excited to continue on my journey, to create content in hopes of inspiring others just like me. I believe in authentic marketing that feels personal and will spark ideas, motivate, inspire, and make changes for the better.
