Why I Started
Passport + Purpose

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a deep pull to explore new places. Whether it’s wandering through cobblestone streets in a quiet European town, soaking in sunrise views from a mountainside, or chatting with locals over street food, I travel not just to see the world—but to connect with it.
This blog was born out of two things I’m most passionate about: traveling boldly and living with purpose.
Travel, for me, is more than checking places off a list. It’s about discovering stories, finding meaning in small moments, and growing through every journey—especially the uncomfortable ones. With Passport + Purpose, I hope to share not just itineraries and guides, but reflections, tips, and travel experiences that inspire you to explore with heart and intention.
Here you’ll find:
-
Personal travel stories from my favorite destinations
-
Purposeful travel tips—from sustainable choices to meaningful experiences
-
Resources for planning your next adventure without losing your sense of self
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just starting out, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s make every trip count—not just in miles, but in meaning.
Here’s to traveling with purpose,
