Hello, my name is Eden.
I’m a Los Angeles based travel blogger. I’ve been to 30 countries across 5 continents and was most recently traveling in South Africa and Namibia.
I am a huge fan of Arizona and have spent a significant amount of time in Sedona. In fact, you’ll find an entire page on this blog dedicated to my Arizona travels.
Like most people, I work a regular full-time job. I am passionate about showing others how they can travel far and wide using just their PTO like I do.
In fact, I am on a mission to visit every country in the world using just the paid time off I receive from my day job.
Much of the content you’ll find on this blog is from my solo travels. I love traveling solo and find it’s the best way to get to know a new place.
I almost always meet new friends when traveling solo, so it’s become my favorite way to travel.
I also frequently join group trips and have traveled with groups to French Polynesia, Morocco, the Maldives, Mexico, and Namibia.
You’ll notice I tend to write one day travel itineraries, that’s because I often move fast when visiting new cities. Not because I don’t think those cities deserve more time, but because I try to conserve my vacation days.
I also love getting up early for sunrises, so I am able to get a lot done in a single day.
If you’ve read this far and would like to know a bit more about me, here it is…
I am the proud parent of Melvin, a sweet and melancholy senior Wiener dog. Melvin just turned 14 years old and while he’s showing some definite signs of aging, he’s still just as happy and active as ever.
I am also a big music fan, I like Sonic Youth, the Melvins (yes this is where my dog got his name), Faith no More, Depeche Mode, Cat Power, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the list goes on.
I also like to play pinball and find great cocktail spots. If there’s a tiki bar in the area, that’s where you can find me.
I am also a certified Freediver and love spending time in the ocean. One of my greatest travel experiences was swimming with Humpback whales in French Polynesia.
If you have any other questions for me (or Melvin), head over to my contact page and send me a message. I check my email daily.
