The Bougie Backpacker
In 2023, I ditched the desk for a solo adventure across the world! Hailing from vibrant Austin, Texas, I emerged burned out from over a decade in the hospitality and events industry, weary but eager for new adventures. Passionate about discovering delectable local cuisine on a budget, my travel profile includes paddle boarding, leisurely hikes, museum visits, and many Aperol Spritz.
Join me as I savor the world’s flavors and embrace diverse experiences! A solo female explorer, too bougie for hostels, but not fancy enough for luxury hotels.
