The Traveling Creative is live!

I can barely believe this day has finally arrived, and yet, here it is!

The Traveling Creative is the culmination of years of Google-mapping, pseudo-travel-guide-writing, Insta-stalking, and most importantly, traveling – and I couldn’t be happier to share this with all of you.

Now that I’ve been to 52 countries, people often ask me why I travel so much – why I can’t ever seem to sit still. And I’m not sure I could give you a meaningful answer. All I know is that I’m insatiable in my quest to discover every little corner of our precious earth.

I used to travel without any kind of plan, like I did on my round-the-world trip in 2015 & 2016, when I arrived in Peru on a one-way flight with only a 55L backpack and a hostel that, as it turns out, I’d booked for the wrong night. But as I started working and studying on others’ timetables, I realized that I had to plan a bit more in order to squeeze every drop of life that I could out of my travels. Enter copious color- and icon-coded Google Maps, dozens of email threads with ad-hoc city guides I’d forward around the interwebs, and countless travel hacks all locked inside my head.

This blog is an attempt to write all of these things down, in one place, where both friends and strangers can get recommendations on where they’re headed and inspiration for where to go next.

I hope you all will join me on this journey – I can’t wait to see where it takes us ♡
