The journey to where I am today started in a small editing bay at my local news station where I worked as a Creative Producer after graduating college. It was a fast-paced and fulfilling job but truthfully, I craved adventure. I saved up for many months and after putting together my dream itinerary (thank you Pinterest), I left to backpack Europe for a few months. I created a new Instagram page to avoid bombarding my friends and family with travel picture and later added a blog to the mix. I worked with brands for many years as a ‘travel influencer’ and then jumped over to the other side, spearheading various brand marketing campaigns as a Brand Partnerships Specialist.
my story
I was born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay and moved to Orlando, Florida at around age 10. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2014 with a Bachelors Degree in Political Science and Television & Radio Production.
After I left my corporate job behind to backpack Europe and began to share my experiences online, I realized how many others wanted to see the world but weren't sure how to do it. Being part of a big family with little resources, I could relate. In the years since I've worked to make affordable travel a reality for more people and have partnered with a ton of cool brands along the way.
I hope this blog serves as an inspiration for you to follow your dreams - whatever they may be. If those dreams include travel, then I also hope this site can provide some tips and insight on how to make travel an affordable and unforgettable experience.
