l am a multidisciplinary creative and avid traveler from Atlanta, GA.

After years of following the “rules’ of the American Dream and trying to fit into a box not meant for me, I ventured out and discovered travel. The realization came in 2022 after my first ever solo road trip to Arizona, where I spent 6 days exploring the state and fell in love with the freedom and exploration it gave me.

7 months later, I left my full-time job as a Producer in Washington, D.C. to live abroad for 4 months in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Mexico.

The experience opened me up to the possibilities of what life could look like and it launched my journey of unlearning some of the set rules and ideologies about what life should be that had been ingrained in me for so long. I’ve become committed to curating a life of liberation and freedom for myself.

Since returning to the States, I has been on a journey of discovering what the “American Dream” and freedom now look like for me while continuing to travel and see the world.

With a background in storytelling, video production and writing, I hope to share my travel discoveries and wellness journey here.

I invite you to follow along on the journey as I am actively pursuing this life through travel, wellness and my discovery of the art of living free.
