About Me

I lived in Italy for 90 days studying architecture and loved it so much, gelato is now my only diet. My travel bug didn’t stop there. I’ve hopped around to more than 50 cities all over the globe.

As a result, I became obsessed with the ultimate must-see destinations worldwide. Today when I’m not spending all my time consuming everything there is to know about the top sites. I’m out there exploring them.

My Expertise

I have a B.S. in Interior Architecture, focusing on the history and details of significant cities and buildings worldwide.

I learned exclusive insights into architectural gems, untold stories, and structures often overlooked by travelers. After years of exploration and study, my expertise drives me to now share my knowledge.

Why Bucket List Travel?

If you have a wanderlust itch and a bucket list a mile long, listen up! You’ve landed in the perfect spot to fuel your travel dreams. And you wanna know why? Because I’m right there with you, itching to explore every corner of this incredible world.

I 100% believe that checking off bucket list destinations is a possibility for anyone and everyone. You don’t have to be rich, an air flight attendant, or a credit card hacker. (I don’t even own a travel credit card)

All you need is a change in priorities, a burning crave to see more of the world, and the willpower to make yourself uncomfortable. If you have all those things, then I’m here to guide you to turn those travel dreams into a jaw-dropping, Instagram-Worthy reality.

You Don’t Need To Be A Full-Time Traveler!

When I made my bucket list it had over 100 items on it and I was 2 months into my 1st job right out of college.

Two months later I was out of the country checking off my 1st bucket list destination with my husband.

One year in, and we had checked off five new locations on my list all while still maintaining a full-time job.

I did all this while just having 13 days of paid time off a year and making only $20 USD an hour.

But I made it happen, and you can too!
