I am Sophie, a true California girl currently laying roots in the City of Brotherly Love, a.k.a Philadelphia. I have come to consider myself a member of the travel industry- though unexpectedly and sort of by default. While I have never actively pursued travel professionally, two major positions in the industry fell in my lap, making up the majority of my working adult life. Thus, I have taken the
se opportunities as a sign that I am truly meant to foster this travel bug. I have experienced the importance of exploring the world first hand both myself and my clients. I have also grown familiar with the effects of unattended wanderlust while working a regular 9 to 5 job. Needless to say, my interest in travel has grown from professional to personal and back again. I am taking travel into my own hands as I discover the power of exploration both locally and abroad. I have always enjoyed discovering the hidden gems of foreign places, as well as taking in my local towns and cities with a set of fresh eyes. A self-declared staycationer, homebody, knitting-in-pajamas nester, road tripping, shopaholic lone traveler, I am taking to the streets with the hope of discovering the incredible balance between comfort and adventure- no matter where in the world I may find myself. Stay tuned for insights, stories, screw-ups, and brutally honest depictions of where this wave of globetrotting takes me. Don’t forget to stock up on eye-masks and earplugs for your next journey in the meantime! xoxo,
Sophie A. Needelman
