hi, i’m sarah

I’m a writer and budding entrepreneur with a love for caffeine, capital gains, and seeing the world.

I took my first international trip when I was 19. I’d never even been on a plane or inside an airport (!), and I was all alone. Oh, and did I mention I was going to Costa Rica for a MONTH?

One trip is all it took. I was hooked.

20+ countries later, traveling has impacted who I am and who I’ll be forever.

I wholeheartedly believe that travel can change us for the better, if we’re brave enough to let it.

Let’s be brave together.

CW: Anxiety⁣ ⁣ Hey, friends! Long time no see!

July 4, 2015 was one of the most important days of $July 4, 2015 was one of the most important days of my life. Why? Because it's the day I first stepped foot outside my home country, the USA. The decision to fly to Costa Rica at 19 completely changed the course of my life and career forever. 💖 Before that day, I'd never been on a plane -- or even inside an airport. I didn't even know a checked bag could only weigh 50 pounds! (Don't worry -- mine weighed in at exactly 50. 😅) Needless to say, I was in way over my head. But that month in Costa Rica was nothing less than magical. ✨ This beautiful country is the first where I traveled solo. The rest is history.
