Hi there, I’m Marissa! 👋

I’m a lifestyle and travel blogger based out of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area with one (and only one) thing that I can call my true passion: travel! 🌍

See, the thing is – I’m on a mission to empower YOU to make your travel dreams a reality. No matter what you look like. No matter what your socioeconomic status. No matter your age (can we stop subscribing to the idea that true travel begins after retirement?). 😊 I’m a strong believer that anyone – yes, absolutely anyone, can and should revel in the joys of seeing the world.

I share with you all the resources I can churn out: one-of-a-kind city guides, destination inspiration, and budget-friendly travel hacks for aspiring travelers. Because you deserve to make lifelong memories – one destination at a time.

One of the principles I live by, and encourages others to abide by, is that when you look like your passport photo, it’s time to book a trip.
