Welcome Aboard!

Come explore alongside me in my lifelong journey to travel the world. I created this space to be a place for others to learn it is possible to travel with a full-time job (yes, even one that’s not remote).

Traveling has always been a massive part of my life story and is truly one of the best parts about life. My goal is to help show you you can travel with a tight schedule.

There is always time, it is just about how you put yours to use.
So, let’s get started!

Hi! I am a self-professed nomad with a 9-5. Yes, a full-time (in-person!) job. How does that work? Let me show you!

My friends always tell me:

I want to travel, but I just don’t have the time or PTO! Maybe next year I’ll plan a trip…

That is exactly what I am here for! I have been consistently traveling since before I could talk and recently have taken that next step into pursuing my own passion of travel while pursuing my career. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. From short weekend getaways to 3-week international trips, this blog will serve as a guide to planning, executing, and enjoying all different types of travel.

I have pages dedicated to different locations, styles of traveling, financial situations, and helpful tips/tricks I have learned over the years! Like I’ve mentioned, I have made all this work with an in-person 9-5 job. It might not always be easy, but I can promise you the experiences are worth it.

Follow along to find out how you too can experience the world without sacrificing your career!
