About

I’m not a full-time traveler—but hey, a girl can dream.

By day, I’m a teacher. I’m also a lover of nature adventures (the tame kind), a devoted coffee enthusiast, and a huge foodie—if your definition of foodie includes an unwavering love for cheese, bread, pizza… and sushi. Don’t worry, I love all food and will try anything once.

I also happen to be one of those people who can spend an unhealthy amount of time researching trips. (Some might say it’s too much. I say it’s what coffee was made for.)

But over time, I started to notice that most travel content didn’t reflect the way I travel. I found myself constantly comparing my real-life experiences to blogs filled with professional photos, glamorous selfies, and long, dreamy narratives about sunsets. I’m not a hardcore hiker. I’m not strictly budget or luxury. I’m not into nightlife, don’t really get travel hacking, and I’m definitely not chasing the perfect Instagram shot.

I’m just an everyday traveler who wants to learn, explore, and enjoy a new place—with a great cup of coffee in hand.

That’s why I started Pragmatic Travelers—a space for practical, honest, and straight-up helpful recommendations. Everything here is based on my personal experiences and research, shared in a way that makes planning easier for other pragmatic travelers.

You won’t find curated perfection here—just real advice, real experiences, and all photos taken with my phone.
