I started my journey in 2019 after wanting to be an influencer and blogger for years. I wrote blog posts in 2016 and saved them on my Google Drive, but I was too afraid to start due to imposter syndrome, and being too worried about what others would think. I thought to myself, you can't work in corporate AND be a travel influencer, it just doesn't make sense. I wound up finally launching my blog in February 2019 and put my head down and put in the work for years. I grew to over 100,000 followers in 2021, after years of consistently posting several times per week, showing up, and being a resource for my audience. I continued to grow my career in corporate while growing my business to now over 250,000 followers on IG and TikTok. I am living proof, you can have it all, and I want that for you too!
I pride myself on my authenticity and ability to create valuable content that sells. I am known for my genuine no BS approach in my content. People mostly follow me for my travel tips, restaurant reviews, and self-care journey. When I am home in Jersey, I love to share local gems and show people they don't need to travel far to live their best lives. Along with being a content creator, I have also become an online educator in 2022. I teach new and aspiring influencers how to get started and land paid brand deals.
I've been to over 20 countries and my favorites are Japan, Colombia, and Guatemala. I am a huge foodie and like to travel to experience culture through food. Some of the countries that I've visited with the best food are Colombia, India, and Tanzania. When I am not traveling, you can catch me on my couch with my fiance watching Netflix. I am a huge homebody and introvert, that also happens to be a travel influencer… strange, I know.
Knew I wanted to be a blogger and influencer so I started writing blog posts and saving them in my Google Drive.
Imposter syndrome kicked in and I thought I didn't have what it takes to be a blogger, so I let my ideas and dreams collect dust.
I got over myself and launched my blog and Instagram in February of that year. I had no idea what I was doing but I consistently posted several times per week. I took a solo trip to Colombia.
Due to the pandemic, I pivoted more into local travel and food. I landed my first hotel and restaurant paid partnerships this year. I moved to DC and lived there for 10 months.
I tried innovative ways to stand out and connect. I hosted my first meet-up with my followers with 100+ people. I started the Finding Francesca March Madness Bracket. I moved back to New Jersey.
I got engaged to the love of my life. I hit 100k on Instagram. Started teaching content creators how to get started and land paid deals.
I got promoted to Assistant Director at my corporate job. I traveled to 7 countries. Landed my first cruise partnership. I hosted 3 meet-up events with my followers, all with 100+ people.
