House Sitting

Constantly moving around is not always the easiest path in life to take, but what it lacks in stability it makes up for in excitement and adventure. Fair warning: travel addiction is real. 

Nomadic

Living

I do like to promote goods and services that have worked for me and the travel lifestyle I lead. I only pass along recommendations for things I've actually used and trust. No gatekeeping here. 

Affiliate Marketing

Throughout my adventures, I've soaked up invaluable lessons and crafted my own methods for navigating this nomadic lifestyle. "Taking the year to...." turned into a much longer and much broader endeavor than I first realized.
