Traveling while working somehow comes with guilt from multiple directions. On one hand, you find yourself with travel FOMO while you're working; on the other, it's fear that you're not doing as well as you could be at work. Here's a breakdown of traveler's guilt and the ways I manage it.

After my first trip, it was easy to see how most of my fears weren't based in real-life. So with that said, here are the harsh truths I've learned that actually helped me overcome solo travel anxiety — because let's face it: Sometimes you need reality to slap you in the face to really learn a lesson.

I grew up going to Jacksonville for family vacations. I'm sure my family had a lot of reasons for choosing it, but regardless, the JAX area became a place we returned to frequently, whether it was Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island, or good ol' Neptune Beach. As an adult, it's become a beach I'm quite fond of, beyond just the nostalgia of my childhood. So the review in short? Jacksonville Beach is worth a visit, despite how often it's overlooked.

There are two undeniable truths in life: Your three-person group chat has a super stupid name, and you all never see each other. Here's how we got our trio out of the group chat and planned a girls' beach trip.

Everyone wants to do their 30th birthday big, but for as often as I plan flights, accommodations, and other travel logistics, I am — quite frankly — terrible at making plans. So this year, I did what I do best. I booked a flight to see my best friend, reserved an Air BnB with Carolina Domes in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and spent my day doing what I don't do best: relaxing.

As I approached my 30th birthday, I decided to look back on what travel has taught me. Here are my lessons learned as a solo female traveler who works remote.

If you've ever scrolled past a woman riding a camel through the desert and thought, "Could I actually travel solo?" or wistfully searched "solo female travel destinations" on Instagram, this is the post for you.

There are a lot of reason I value remote work: For one, I can make my lunch at home; two, I don’t waste gas or put miles on my car commuting; and last — but arguably most importantly — I can work from wherever the hell I want.

The story about that time I camped with someone I'd only known for a few weeks on an island I'd never visited, as someone who had only ever been camping once.

Truthfully, there are a lot of factors that go into my lifestyle, but what it comes down to is I make work work for me. Here are some ways you can make travel work for you as a remote worker, while still paying rent.

You've heard it on every travel page you've ever seen, so I can't say you heard it here first, but maybe I can say now you've heard it from someone you trust: Albania needs to be on your bucket list.

"If I were you, and I worked remote, I’d never be at home.” This is what my graduate advisor said to me shortly after I graduated in the fall of 2022 while we were on our way to Albania to present research at ICCMS in Tirana. That sentence alone may have permanently altered my brain chemistry.
