Mini bio
How it started.
Study abroad trips to Panama, India, and South Africa helped Ciara find her love of travel. She launched her blog in 2015, the same year she graduated from Texas A&M and began working in human resources.
Taking the leap.
After two years in HR, she had saved $15,000. In 2017 she ended her lease, sold her belongings, and set off alone with a backpack and a one-way ticket to Mexico. Remote travel writing for Elite Daily later helped her keep traveling.
Finding her audience.
Her solo travel safety advice reached readers beyond her own channels when Cosmopolitan covered her Twitter tips in 2018. She became a full-time-income blogger in 2019 and went on to host theGrio’s The Great Outdoors, spotlighting Black organizations opening up outdoor recreation.
