Just recently, I stumbled across a highly dissatisfying list of the coolest cities to live in for young people. Unfortunately most of the named places were super-expensive and far from spectacular - so us Travelettes got together and worked on our own list of dream cities. We're already scattered across the Europe and the US, but if you ask us, we could spre[...]
I'm no expert, but I would assume to about 7 out of 10 people the answer would be simple: No. It's heavy, it's bulky, it reminds you too much of work and might even give you pangs of guilt for not catching up on all those to-do's you were hoping to ignore until you get back home and back to reality. I once asked a series of people whether they bring a not[...]
I'm not a fan of the phrase ‘digital nomad’ to be honest. Videos like this one, together with all too many cliches, have made it seem a rather idealistic and unrealistic way for people to try to drag out their travels as much as possible. However I might try and avoid it though, a digital nomad is, in fact, what I am these days - and there are a lot of us ar[...]
So you’re a student and want to travel. That’s great! After all, chances are you’ll never have this much free time on your hands again, let alone the relative flexibility that comes with studying. You’re old enough to travel without parental supervision and, in most cases, young enough not to have to worry about your own kids yet – shouldering a backpack and[...]

When I was younger, I never knew what I wanted to be. This continued into college, and by accident, I scored my first internship in advertising. I've since been working in advertising for the last seven years. Moral of the story: don't get an internship by accident. Kidding, of course. But I always knew that I wanted to do something more meaningful with my l[...]
If your Instagram looks even a little like mine, you most likely face pictures of palm trees and cocktails every time you open the app. It feels like the entire world is vacationing while you seem to be stuck behind your laptop, never finding the time to take time off. You know there are times when you won’t have any work coming in, and you might already be [...]
Last summer I scored my first seasonal job and I loved it! Even though it wasn't always perfect, I loved it so much I already signed up to it again during the winter and next summer. Seasonal job opportunities are available all over the US, especially near or in National Parks and ski resorts, which need people for tons of different jobs. If you ever get [...]
Travel photography is one of the most fun and sought after professions for travel lovers. Not only do you get to travel the world, but you get paid to do it. While it might not be as glamorous as it initially looks, requiring a lot of hard work, it's still got to be one of the best and most rewarding jobs out there. I get asked a lot what it takes to be a[...]
I wanted to live in Australia since the day I heard Steve Irwin say 'crikey mate' as he cruised around white sandy beaches searching for crocs. When I imagined life in Australia it was a glowing picture of surfers with man buns, poached egg perfection, sun-tanned skin, and days where everyone called me 'mate.' I graduated college and found myself at th[...]
