Hello!! Have a look around and check out my blog and photo gallery for a retrospective of my RTW travels, current travels, travel tips and things I love!! and Thank you for visiting RTWgirl.com!

A little about me:

Hometown: Vancouver, Canada

Current home: San Diego, California and possibly soon, LA

Occupation: A modern day nomad, social media enthusiast and marketing consultant

Where Would You Move In A Heartbeat: My secret island in the Philippines, Bali or San Sebastian Spain

You won a free plane ticket to any destination but you can only go somewhere new. Name the first 5 that come to your head. Morocco, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and Argentina

Favourite Brands: Acne, Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang, anything by Phoebe Philo, Tumi, Muji, and Uniqlo

Best travel tips I can share: Be able to go with the flow because travel plans change all the time! Make lists and be organized. It helps! Research a lot and don't be afraid to ask a million questions or for help. Take tons of photos but upload them as soon as you can so you don't lose or have your gear stolen with no photos to show 

Favourite foods found on my RTW trip: Pintxos from A Fuegro Negro and Bar Zeruko in San Sebastian, Yardbird Hong Kong, street food in Hanoi, brown paper triangles filled with nasi bungkus from street vendors in Bali (what can I say, I love street food) 

First thing I do in a new travel destination: Go to the local market or grocery and buy local snacks and drinks 

RTWgirl carry-on essentials: passport (hello!), sleep mask, Molami headphones, Iphone (for music, camera, travel apps, games, editing photos, etc), a book to read, Dr. Pepper Lipsmacker, Moleskin notebook, Canon s100

Favourite Travel Apps: Spotify, Europe Offline Map, Snapseed, Instagram, Skype/Viber

Travel style: Find a place I love and become a local

Do you buy guidebooks?: Nope! The internet is my best friend, recommendations by friends, Tripadvisor and travel bloggers' sites, word of mouth from locals 

Bad travel habit: Keeping ticket stubs, business cards and lots of random ephemera for that scrapbook I hope to make but never do
