As the managing director of Frayed Passport, my goal is to help you build your bucket list, plan your travels, and tell your story. I've been to 20+ countries and five continents so far, lived for years as a full-time digital nomad, and while I'm based in Miami now, I spend one-third of the year traveling to amazing destinations around the world and have worked completely remotely since 2013.
