Tell us about yourself and what you do:

I'm a travel content creator and I've been traveling full time for the past 2.5 years. I've visited 31 countries so far and a few of my favorites have been Indonesia, Nepal, and Turkey. I was recently granted a long-stay visa for France and I'm hoping to make Paris my digital nomad base for awhile (while still planning lots of trips of course). In my free time, I love to be outdoors! I'm always down for a hike, a camping trip, or a long walk. I also love to go bouldering, do yoga, read, and search for the best coffee shops.

How did you start working remotely?

I started working remotely during my last year of college. At the time, I wasn't sure what career path was right for me, but I knew I desperately wanted to travel and see the world. I began freelancing for various clients and taking on whatever work came my way (basic web design, social media management, creating marketing materials, etc.). On the side, I started working on my own travel content and learning how to become a better storyteller. I got serious about my side hustle in 2020 and I went full time with it in July of 2021. I love what I do now because it allows me to travel, create my own schedule, and share my experiences with others.

What’s been your favorite Outsite location?

Bordeaux, France! I met an incredible group of other solo female travelers/digital nomads while I was there. We spent most of our time exploring the city together and trying as much food as possible. I really like the design of that particular Outsite property as well. It feels like a modern, city apartment and it's in a great location.

Where was your last trip?

My most recent trip was Mexico! I stayed at Outsite in Oaxaca, but I also spent some time in Mexico City and Puerto Escondido. I'm currently testing out life in New York City for a bit and in the spring I'm hoping to move to Paris. I'm looking forward to studying French, filming vlogs, stopping at a boulangerie at least once a day, and having access to a whole new range of flight options.

Share one item you always travel with:

A journal! I love to write and it helps me process the new experiences I'm having and make sure I'm still aligned with what I'm doing and how I'm living. And as of recently, climbing shoes. The more I get into bouldering, the more I realize it's one of the few things I can do almost everywhere in the world. Most of the major cities I've visited have a climbing gym and it's fun to see how they vary. Climbing is also a great way to meet people!
