The Ultimate Guide

Hi, I’m Alexandra Emilia!

 Based in San Francisco, I work as a Data Analyst and I have an unabashed passion for travel, which should come as no surprise.Growing up in a multicultural household, with Jamaican and Austrian influences, I was exposed to a rich tapestry of diverse cultures. This ignited a deep craving within me to explore even more. When the pandemic struck, it brought about a significant shift in my life. No longer bound by the daily 3-4 hour commute in Silicon Valley, I found it mundane working from my home, however I used my gained time to teach myself some new skills to move up in the tech space.

Over time, a thought struck me: why confine myself to the confines of my home when I can embark on exciting weekend getaways? Why not work from captivating destinations during the week, surrounded by exceptional environments, intriguing individuals, and delectable cuisine?

What working abroad has taught me

What you gain is more than what you lose. There’s A LOT to unpack when traveling and working abroad.

Travel with the gear you need.

There are just some things that make your life easier when you are traveling. At this point in my life I have packing down to a fine art. I have curated a perfect list of all of the items you could possibly need. Did someone say material girl in a carry on? Impossible. I THINK NOT.
