Hey, I'm Hannah.
I am an extroverted introvert depending on the context, and I’m constantly exploring creative outlets like drawing, painting, photography, and now web development. My path here has been unconventional. I initially studied kinesiology and still love the gym, but eventually realized I wanted a different career and went back to school for a second bachelor’s degree in software engineering, which is ultimately why this site exists.
I’m not wealthy, and I don’t get paid to travel. Like most people, my budget sits somewhere between hostels and luxury hotels. I’ve traveled both with friends and solo, learning something valuable from each trip along the way. I believe travel is essential to becoming a well-rounded person, and it’s far more accessible than most people think. I’m here to share what actually works.
Full transparency: I overpack, I'm terrible with directions, I can be forgetful, and I overheat at an alarming rate. But I'm also selective and detail-oriented, which means I've developed systems to compensate for my weaknesses and get the most out of every trip. Everything on this blog is authentic and reflects my genuine experiences. I only recommend products, itineraries, links, and adventures that I have personally used and loved.
If anything I write helps even one person step outside their comfort zone or plan a smoother trip, this was worth building.
