Hi, I’m Andrea!
I started this blog as a way to share travel tips and inspire others to explore more of the world around them. Adventure can be found anywhere, and I hope this blog can help inspire your next one.
I love all things outdoors (surfing, skiing, and hiking are my favorite!) and travel, and believe that travel is the best teacher we can ever have in life.
After a decade in Corporate America as an aerospace engineer, I recently put in my two-weeks notice, packed a backpack or two, and set off on a round-the-world career break solo-travel trip (how’s that for 8,432 adjectives).
I’m absolutely obsessed with how much beauty this world has and how cool it is that we are able to experience it.
My goal for this page is to inspire you to live a life of adventure and to experience the magic and joy that travel and new experiences can bring. Whether that’s through adventure travel, solo travel, or planning a career break, I hope my blog can inspire you to get out and go.
I’m so glad you’re here.
