About Me

Hi, my name is Annaluz

My goal is to provide you convenient authentic advice on adventure travel, budgeting, and healthy living.

I’m like most folks who can’t drop everything and take time off to travel full time, but I do plan at least one adventure a month and take one or two long vacations a year.

I obtained my degree in Healthcare Administration and would love to be a consultant fixing the US healthcare system. I currently work as an Healthcare Executive Assistant.

I budget to pay off my debt, cover daily expenses, and set aside money to travel. I no longer shame myself for spending money to do the activities that bring me joy.

An old family friend once told me, “Money comes and goes but memories last forever”.

Six years ago I struggled to pay for travel during my time abroad, but I remember the memories I made. Not the exact dollar amount in my bank account.

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to travel and low-budget adventures are easier than you think.

Another piece of advice I live by is “Take every opportunity that presents itself to you”.

This can be applicable in your daily life, career, or when you’re out exploring new places, because when are you going to be in this exact time and space again?

Do it scared, take the first step, I swear the memories are worth it.

This advice has shaped my career, my life experiences, and who I am today and I hope it sparks some inspiration and ambition within you.
