My name is Rachelle Gordon and I’ve been adventuring across the world as a solo female traveler since 2010.
I didn’t quit my job to travel the world full-time, but use it as a way to pay for my DIY adventures around the world.
I write about my adventures, how I balance having 2 full-time jobs, and teach others how to do the same!

A little about me…
My name is Rachelle Gordon and I am a travel blogger, currently based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and graduated from college in Idaho with a degree in History, with an emphasis in Communications and Foreign Languages.
My eyes were finally opened to the world of traveling during a girl’s trip with two of my besties to New Orleans, and I realized that traveling is how I recharge. I currently work full-time at the University of Utah and Dutch Bros., and am constantly seeking adventures at home and abroad.
My ultimate goal with this blog is to demonstrate how we don’t have to travel far (or really at all) to have adventures and a full life. Sometimes the little day-to-day adventures can leave a big impact on our lives.
