find balance between work and wandering
Hey, I’m sam!
I once spent hours a day commuting back and forth from a job that I only did to be able to afford what I really wanted to do – travel more!
Are you ready to travel more, but don’t know where to start?
In 2019, I quit my corporate job to help women create the work-travel balance that they’re looking for, and started my marketing agency to prove it can be done!.
Whether you want to take your first big-kid vacation or are heading off solo for the first time, I’m here to help you make your #travelgoals a reality.
I believe that we can have our cake and eat it too!
