About Me

After my husband and I married in 2011, we took an incredible honeymoon that changed our goals forever. I, head over heels, fell in love with traveling. It all started in Venice, Italy, and it hasn’t stopped since.

We chose to make travel a priority in our lives, even if it’s only part-time. So far, we’ve been able to visit 17 countries and 100+ cities together. We enjoy exploring beyond the main city in any country we visit, that’s why our city count is so much higher. Smaller towns are my favorite!

This blog combines everything I know; my background in journalism and marketing, plus my love for travel and photography. I work remotely in marketing/advertising and everything that has to do with that world, and I dedicate a lot of time to this site. My husband is a 9-5 engineer (think robots) and has cheered me on with this passion project since day one.

We live in the beautiful city of Chicago. Have you been? You should come! We love spending our downtime trying new restaurants and cafes in our hometown, watching sitcom comedies, fostering dogs, and dog sitting. Did I mention dogs?

When I’m not busy doing everyday life, I dream up new places to visit and plan some incredible trips. So, here I am sharing how we make it work, how you can make it work, and how a little careful planning can get you across the world.
