How I Started Writing the World

I wrote my first diary entry around eight years old and was gifted my first Sony camera at sixteen. I’ve been a writer and photographer at heart for as long as I can remember, and my first experience with wanderlust was on a family vacation to Belize in 2003. Little did I know then that my future self would carve a career out of marrying those two passions together. In 2013, I published online journal-style blogs to document my 14-month study abroad in France. Then, during my life-changing move to Nepal in 2015 to study humanitarian aid, I launched my first travel blog. A few years later, I pivoted to pursue my writing and photography full-time. I’ve lived in over ten countries and cultures—from Nepal to Mexico to Japan to Colombia and beyond—and have been sharing my real, raw adventures and reflections with the world since—not only to document my travels but to inspire others to follow their magic in pursuit of a life fully lived.
