Hi there!
I'm Angela
THE FACE BEHIND AS SEEN BY ME
Through my blog, I look forward to blurring the line and showing that a woman can backpack through Europe, zip-line through a rainforest, and picnic in parks around the world, all on her own, while being confident in her skin.
I’ve also lived a clean, plant-based lifestyle for over a decade, so I’ll be sharing healthy and delicious meals along with clean beauty products. Working as a professional Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist since 2005, I’ve experienced my share of product fails and holy grails, and I want to share the best!

why did i start my blog?
My blog was created for those who dream of traveling abroad, but often let the phrase below stop them.
“I don’t have anyone to go with”.
Each year, I spend a month or more solo traveling and sharing my adventures, from staying in a tree house in the middle of the rainforest to crossing Europe’s highest suspension bridge in the Swiss Alps, exploring castles, and eating local cuisine.
When traveling solo, you are rarely alone and often experience things you would never have the opportunity to experience otherwise. There is a level of spontaneity that allows interactions like meeting fellow travelers or locals who offer to show you all that their city has to offer.
“My passion for travel began when I decided to live an adventurous life doing things that lit a fire in my soul while encouraging others to do the same.”
I hope to inspire you to take the leap to solo travel, or if you’re traveling with others, that’s awesome too! I share helpful travel tips, itineraries, and city guides to make your planning process stress-free and fun, and help you experience each city like a local while also hitting its must-see sights.

◈ I love sweets, I mean really love them! There are those who are “savory people” or “sweets people.” and I 100% fall into the sweets category. I can be eating a meal and literally thinking about what I’m going to have for dessert afterward. If I could eat something sweet for every meal, I would. Who am I kidding? I totally have. In Belgium, I practically had a Belgian waffle for breakfast, lunch, and dinner lol.
◈ As much as I love sweets, I’ve lived a clean, plant-based lifestyle for over a decade, so my sweet treats usually consist of a piece of decadent dark chocolate, home-made vegan oatmeal cookies, or “nice cream”, an ice cream alternative made from blending frozen bananas in a Vitamix blender.
◈ I make a fresh batch of cold-pressed ginger and turmeric weekly, and I have a shot of it every morning. It’s great for reducing inflammation, improving digestion, and improving your immune system.

◈ I’m obsessed with making Buddha bowls and have them for dinner multiple times per week. I pack them with sweet potato, brown rice, toasted chickpeas, veggies, grains, seeds, and a homemade tahini sauce. It’s so good! If I’m not having a Buddha bowl, I’m making red lentil or brown rice pasta, with sun-dried tomatoes, and again, veggie-packed!
◈ I’ve loved scrapbooking since I was a teen. I have the papers, scissors, rulers, stamps, decals, the whole shebang. It’s no wonder I started a blog.
◈ I crave creativity, like live for it. A day doesn’t go by without me brainstorming some sort of new idea. My brain does not stop.
◈ I love game nights. Give me Giant Jenga or a board game, snacks, and a glass of kombucha, and I’m happier than any night out on the town.
