I’m carissa
a working girl who explores it all – budget trips. luxury nights. everything in between.
Greenville, SC based, full-time employee, and someone who refuses to let a 9-5 stop me from exploring. Whether it’s chasing glaciers in Alaska, road-tripping the Dolomites, or figuring out how to make the most of a long weekend, I’m here to show you that travel doesn’t require quitting your job or winning the lottery. Budget hacks, splurge-worthy moments, and the occasional van life detour — it’s all here.
