Traveling became an important part of my life when I started traveling around the country to compete in athletic events. The more I traveled the more I wanted to travel. In 2022 I left the country for the first time and ended up visiting 4 new countries within 6 months.
Growing up in a small town I always wanted to see more of the world, once I had to opportunity to see more I didn’t want to stop. Traveling can truly open your eyes and change you as a person.
When I travel I love exploring the local running and hiking trails, cafes, and breweries. You can catch me seeking out the best breakfast spots and most beautiful views wherever I travel!
My goal is to share my travel experiences with others as well as tips and tricks for making it possible to travel within whatever budget you have available. I use travel credit cards and careful planning to my my travel dreams come true and you can too!
