In every city we visited, we enjoyed exploring the food, nature, public transportation, night life, arts and culture of the area. It was also a lot of fun to spend time with old college and hometown friends and family members who lived in each city. And during most of our trips, we still worked our jobs remotely! Sometimes we’d be working in our Airbnb dining room table, a hotel lobby, or in a library or cafe downtown. I definitely appreciate having a new view from my desk every day, and I'm constantly in awe of how much there is to experience beyond work life.

Realizing how big the world is -- it’s equally belittling and empowering. Through my travel adventures, I’m becoming more confident in trying new things, exploring new places, and finding joy and comfort in the unfamiliar.

I’m endlessly grateful for friends who are willing to embark on these journeys with me. What started as three bored post grads stuck in their hometown ended as a tight-knit group of friends with dozens of items checked off their bucket list. We’ve shared a lot of laughs and memories in all corners of the country, and I can't wait to share our next adventure!
