Many of us have wondered what it would be like to travel the world while pursuing a career. Sarah decided it was time to take a risk and traveled to over forty countries while building her writing portfolio. While this may feel like a dream scenario for some, it comes with challenges, difficult decisions, and at times, financial stress. Facing reality head on helped Sarah understand the importance of cultivating community wherever she was travelling. At the same time, she opened a digital content agency, "Dang Fine Creative" which she operates with her team from wherever she is currently living.
