Girl Who Travels World, About Me

About Noelia

Hi!  My name is Noelle….but they call me Noelia in South America!  Over 10 years ago, I left the family business in California to start a fitness business in Oregon…& it just so happened that I fell in love with Oregon.  But in 2016, I felt a serious itch that simply wouldn’t go away.  It kept me up at night: yearning for destinations & adventures unknown.  So, I sold my fitness business & most of my belongings in order to pursue this crazy dream of traveling the world.  

This blog tells that story…..& gives other travelers all kinds of tips & very specific travel advice for creating their own adventures.  My goal is to help inspire you to write a new story….or to dream up a new chapter: for your own life. 

So Let’s Go!!!
