It’s nice to meet you!
Welcome to a world where wanderlust and self-discovery intertwine, and the call of adventure resonates deeply. I’m Brianna Rae, and I’m thrilled to have you join me on a journey of exploration, growth, and unforgettable memories.
My journey began when I was 15 years old with a transformative year-long study abroad adventure in New Zealand, an experience that opened my eyes to the beauty of cultural immersion and personal growth beyond the classroom—that year ignited a fire that has fueled my journeys for the past six years, encompassing international borders and allowing me to immerse myself in the cultures, landscapes, and stories of remarkable people around the world. From there, my path led me to sea turtle conservation efforts on the lush coasts of Costa Rica and native bird conservation projects amidst the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand and Ecuador. I’ve wandered the charming streets of Madrid, delved into language nuances, and collected seeds to contribute to local ecosystem restoration in South Carolina. These, among many other experiences, have enriched my understanding of the world and my place within it. Recently, I embarked on a year of exploration within the confines of a converted school bus. That year ignited a fire that has fueled my journeys for the past six years, encompassing international borders and allowing me to immerse myself in the cultures, landscapes, and stories of remarkable people around the world.
My Journey
In our changing world, things have evolved, and I’ve used technology to create a life that combines work and my love for travel. Whether I’m enjoying a café in Europe, looking at the ocean from a hammock, or working under the stars in the wilderness, I’ve found a balance between what I enjoy and what I need to do. I have a fully remote Communications position with a sustainable development organization and also make money from my travels.
However, my journey means more to me than just reaching different places; it’s about creating a positive impact. By volunteering, I’ve helped causes I deeply care about, leaving positive marks on coastlines, conservation initiatives, and local communities. My travels have transformed into more than just a personal journey; they’re a way to celebrate the influence we possess in shaping the world around us.
The relationships we forge on our journey are as vital as the destinations themselves. Navigating connections across continents has enriched my story, forming friendships that span borders and cultures. Each interaction is a testament to the strength and unity that humanity can cultivate regardless of the miles that separate us.
