Hey! I’m Sky. Welcome to my corner of the world where I share my experiences as a location independent entrepreneur, living and traveling in Central America.

I grew up in a small town, where people never left their comfort zone. When I was 16, I impulsively decided to join a school trip to Guatemala…never mind that I’d never really traveled outside Pennsylvania and had no idea where Guatemala was. That trip opened my eyes to the world beyond smalltown PA and wanderlust took over my life.

When I was 20, I had a bad day at my just-above-minimum-wage retail job, decided I’d had enough “expensive college degree –> job I don’t like —> house I can’t afford —> husband —> 2.5 kids—> work til I die” life path, and booked a one-way ticket to Costa Rica.

I’ve now lived in Costa Rica for 5 years, have a flourishing freelance writing business, opened an art gallery, started a cocktail blog, and opened a tourist information center.

Some people told me that creating a life I love was impossible and others called me brave. They were both wrong. I am living proof that you can design a life you love, even if you’re afraid.

My goal now is to inspire others to do the same – travel the world, face your fears, and live your dreams.

On Sky vs World you’ll find a mixture of personal narratives and posts full of detailed travel information. I write about my adventures – primarily solo travel in Central America and the United States -, facing my fears, and intentionally designing a life you love. I want to inspire you to see the world – and give you all of the information you need to do so.

I hope you’ll follow along on my adventure. You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook.
