As a California native who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, my journey into travel blogging began with a deep love for exploring new places and helping others do the same. After completing high school, I relocated to Santa Barbara, spending four years there as I attended UC and worked toward earning my college degree. Later, I spent two years in San Diego, taking art classes. Moving up and down the coast gave me an appreciation for the challenges of planning the perfect trip, especially when it felt overwhelming or time-consuming. My travels also extended to Europe, where I explored iconic destinations, embraced diverse cultures, and experienced firsthand the beauty and charm of places like Portugal, France, and Italy. These adventures deepened my passion for sharing helpful travel tips and uncovering hidden gems.
The turning point came in 2021, when I left my 9-5 job at IT company to focus on my blog full-time. Drawing from endless hours of researching, I now share valuable insights for travelers through articles, videos, and itineraries. Whether it’s helping plan a celebration like Jordan’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary in Portugal or finding the best options with confidence, my goal is to simplify the process. By collaborating with local tour guides and experts, I create simple, great information that saves visitors the effort of sifting through countless websites, YouTube videos, and guidebooks.
