Mini bio
How it started.
Sarah bought the SarahFunky domain in summer 2015 while working an office job. In 2017 she left that job and traveled with her husband, living in a different country each month. She says she returned to the USA in 2018 with $300 and decided to put her knowledge of New York to work on YouTube.
Finding her audience.
She saw a gap between advice from visiting tourists and what a local would recommend. Her NYC guides filled that gap, and she told IZEA that the channel took off after six months of consistent posting. In 2019, requests from viewers for in-person tours led her to launch Funky Experiences as a licensed NYC tour guide.
Building beyond the channel.
When the pandemic disrupted travel, Sarah began producing videos for local businesses through Funk & Co Creatives. She also brought walking tours to YouTube Live. Her hosting work includes GoDaddy’s School of Hustle and destination guides for Travel + Leisure’s Instagram Stories.
