Hi! I’m Stephanie Cahail. I am in my thirties and from the United States, and although I was born and raised in Missouri I now reside in Austin, Texas. I work as a software engineer full-time 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 the North American continent, 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 I went to Seattle to visit a romantic interest…and then hanging out with his friends instead.

As the age of social media has evolved, I’ve learned many travel tips and tricks through numerous social media bloggers and influencers. Through these incredible travelers I’ve even found the confidence to travel solo and discover parts of the world I never thought I’d visit! One thing I had to figure out on my own though is how to balance working a full-time job and traveling the world.

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