Where are you from, and where have you traveled to?
I’m from the great city of Ann Arbor, MI, USA and my current travel count is 20 states and 24 countries. I’ve lived in Reykjavik, Iceland during a study abroad and Barcelona, Spain for a masters degree, and that does mean a lot of my travel has been to Europe. However, I’ve also been incredibly fortunate to visit areas of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East as well! So far I haven’t been to Asia or Africa, though I’d definitely love to make it over there.
What’s your favorite place you’ve visited?
My favorite place definitely depends on what you mean by favorite (for relaxing, living in, nature, architecture, culture, etc.) but if you forced me to choose I would probably have to say Iceland! It’s got a special place in my heart and I’m always super excited when I know my final plane destination is Keflavík Airport.
You take a lot of photos with animals. What are your favorites?
As a proud cat mom, former horseback rider, and squirrel lover extraordinaire, I would have to say those three hit different. That said, I adore pretty much any animal that crosses my path the moment I set my eyes on it!
Have you ever disliked a place you’ve visited?
There have certainly been places I’ve liked less than other places I’ve been, or that I’ve been glad I’ve visited but wouldn’t want to return to or live in. However, I personally believe everywhere has its charms if you look around enough and have yet to go to a place where I couldn’t find something I liked about it. 🙂 Preferring one place over another doesn’t mean one place is better than the other, it just means my preferences aligned better with my experience at a certain place!
When and why did you start Only In?
I started work on Only In during the last weeks of February 2023, publishing in March 2023. As far as the “why” behind Only In, there are two answers to that! First, I’ve done a lot of travel in my young life and don’t plan to stop; I love having a chance to showcase the thing I love and help others make the most out of travel for themselves. Second, as a marketing person, I’m fascinated by the wide world of SEO and similar topics. I thought it would be a cool, real-world experiment to see if I could learn how to use those tools to promote a website!
