Mini bio
How it started.
Emily began her travel Instagram and blog in May 2021 while planning a break from her epidemiology job. She saved for the trip but repeatedly postponed leaving, later writing candidly about the fear that held her back.
Finding her audience.
She reached 1,000 followers on January 1, 2022, and landed her first paid brand partnership soon afterward. By March, her blog was monetized and her Instagram had reached 10,000 followers. In April 2022, she left her job to travel full time.
Travel, with company.
Her work grew to include group trips and Travel Chat with Ashley & Emily, which she co-hosts with Ashley Peterson. Their conversations mix destination advice with personal stories, hotel experiences and flight reviews.
Passing it on.
Emily founded the Travel Boss Membership in 2023. The community offers travel creators training, resources and opportunities to work with brands, drawing on her own experience building Emily Eats and Explores.
