a note from indigo
Three years ago, I was burnt out from my 9-5, constantly distracting myself by planning my dream trip — correction, daydreaming about my dream trip.
I was desperate to find a way to travel on a budget without sacrificing comfort or luxury experiences. That’s when I discovered the secret world of travel hacking, travel points and miles systems, and trustworthy discounted hotel booking websites.
Since then, I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, lived abroad multiple times and flown all over the world for free.
Yes, free!
Now, because I know from personal experience that you, too, can afford travel, I’ve made it my mission to teach you how.
Ready to TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD?
I’m here to help you make it happen!
travel’s in my blood…
Here’s the truth.
- As a pilot kid, I was practically raised in an airport. In fact, I flew a plane before I drove a car.
- Unlike most US kids, I started learning a foreign language at age 5 (Spanish).
- When I was 8, my parents moved my family from Wisconsin to Ireland. This was my first time leaving the country, but certainly not my last.
- When I was in high school, I took my first solo international trips to Ireland and Peru.
- In college, I studied abroad in France to pick up a third language. I graduated summa cum laude in three years with a B.A. in Spanish and journalism from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
- …Which is when I met my husband, Kenny. He’s my best friend and the ultimate travel partner. His photography isn’t too shabby either!
- Then, I went on to get my M.A. in global leadership and pastoral counseling from Crown College.
Let’s be social.
