About Me

Check out my Instagram @itstravelfever and let me know you're from CS!

"Some travel to escape life, others travel to not let life escape them"

I can't pinpoint exactly when wanderlust took over my every desire, but since then I've been to 20+ countries. After studying abroad and graduating, I climbed the corporate ladder for a few years, and decided I wasn't getting anywhere near the life I wanted to live so I quit that job, and started traveling to 1 country and month, and had the best year of my life doing that.

I'm into mindfulness, personal development, and trying to connect more frequently with nature and spirituality.

I seek culture shock, national parks, extreme tourism, and making the most of everyday.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen mostly to alternative music, but I'm open minded as long as there's a point to the song

A quote I remember hearing in college was "If you're not growing, you're dying" so I read mostly nonfiction =P
Books by David Hawkins, Byron Katie, Brene Brown, Chris Germer, Wayne Dyer, Pia Mellody, etc.
