Hi! I’m Stephanie. I am in my thirties and live in Austin, Texas. I work a full-time corporate job to support my true passion: travel.

I have always been obsessed with travel for as long as I can remember. There’s something about experiencing a new place – the sights, sounds, and smells – that makes me feel alive. When I went on my first trip outside North America, I fell in love with learning about and experiencing the different cultures, cuisine, and histories of other countries. I discovered the joy of meeting new people while traveling when staying in my first hostel.

In my pursuit of balancing working a full-time job and traveling the world, I’ve learned how to utilize travel credit cards to earn free flights and hotels, workcation around the world, and maximize my PTO to experience places I never thought I’d visit!

I created this blog to share the travel experiences I’ve had and the tips and tricks I learned along the way with the ultimate goal of inspiring others to step(h) out of office and travel the world!
