ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sarah Parker
I've always been an adventurer and travel enthusiast. By 22, I had already lived in Texas, Miami, Montana, and Argentina. After meeting my now husband and starting an eCommerce agency together, we realized that our remote work lifestyle offered a unique opportunity. In November 2023, we decided to put our belongings in storage and embark on a journey of full-time travel.
Since then, we've explored 14 countries and have plans to visit 8 more this year! We love sharing our adventures on Instagram and are excited to create itineraries for some of our favorite destinations, helping others plan their dream trips.
