After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time – from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. Right now, I'm back in Mexico and sharing my adventures here on YouTube! Be sure to subscribe and follow me on Instagram for daily updates!
