I’ve always been into the whole blogging thing (Just another excuse to talk about myself?), and had a blog on and off for many years (started in 2010!!) that started out as a fashion blog where I would force my brother/dad/mom/friend/tripod/bf/invisible friend to take photos of my outfits. After a while, I realized I wanted to talk about travel and life more than I wanted to post my outfits, and thus, Sights Better Seen was born!

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME:

+ I’m currently gallivanting around Europe and figuring out how to make this whole digital nomad life work. Right now, that means house sitting and teaching English online!
+ In college I started out with a major in fashion merchandising…and ended up graduating with half a design major, an actual major in psychology, and a minor in wildlife, fish, and conservation biology. And now I’m starting this blog to attempt to combine some of those interests, along with my passion for travel. So for all you kids out there that want to do #allthethings, it can be done!
+ Solo traveled for the first time (!!!) in summer of 2016 and it was awesome and nerve-racking and amazing and free and stressful and beautiful – all the things you imagine solo travel (and travel in general) to be. I’m currently back in Europe, my favorite place, and figuring out what’s next.
+ I was in the conservation corps for three months in Arizona after I finished college and it was also awesome and nerve-racking and challenging and amazing. Then, I worked in the education sector at a nonprofit that focused on the conservation of birds. If you want to get into environmental nonprofit work, here’s how I broke into the field!
WHERE EXACTLY HAVE I BEEN?

+ In the summer of 2016, I spent almost 2 months traveling. I started out in Israel with a group, then went to Greece, Ireland, and Belgium solo. This style of traveling was MUCH slower than my first Europe trip and my feet and I were a lot happier.
+ Europe honestly just has my heart – I visited Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Abisko (Northern Sweden!) in January 2017, then went to France and Germany in fall 2018 for Oktoberfest, and now I’m back AGAIN as a digital nomad smack in the midst of my quarter life crisis. Whoops.
+ I’ve lived in California pretty much my entire life (save for the 3 month stint in the conservation corps) and so I’ve traveled around the area pretty extensively!
I hope you enjoy reading about my (mis)adventures and that they inspire you to embark upon your own! If you have any questions or just need some encouragement, please reach out! You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, or email me at kelsey@sightsbetterseen.com.
