About

Welcome!

I am Aria Esmeralda, a full-time travel blogger, art student, photographer and freelancer working from all around the world with my partner of 8 years.

On the 20th of August 2019 we left our home of 23 years. We packed up, sold and donated our belongings and condensed our entire lives into a few suitcases, to journey around the world together.

Ben and I met in high school, and following that began to follow the typical path of school-university-house-marriage… until we didn’t. Until we wanted something more extraordinary.

It was initially difficult to establish ourselves and our relationship to the point of being able to be confident enough to leave everything behind and venture off into the unknown.

But hey – you never know until you try, right?

So here we are, commencing the next stage of our lives the only way we know how: with hope, courage and if need be – reckless abandon.

We are so grateful for all of your support and for being a part of this crazy journey with us, and we hope you will stick along for the ride as we explore this beautiful world, one step at a time.
