Meet Lily

Raised by artists in Florida, I grew up traveling the globe with my multicultural family, which shaped my deep respect for other cultures and belief in incorporating creativity into daily life.

In 2009, I traded Florida's swamps for a gap year along Amsterdam's canals. The adventure continued when I stayed here for grad school and started my career contributing to travel publications like iAmsterdam, Fodor’s Guidebooks, and Lonely Planet.

Today, I’m a freelance creative director, helping purpose-driven brands bring impactful stories to life.

This space is my personal outlet to share travel stories, photography tips, musings on creative living, and bespoke travel guides.

As a curious traveler, I’m drawn to exploring the world through the intersection of culture and creativity.

Inspired by the rhythm of nature, I follow a slower pace, taking time to observe, interact, and appreciate the sights, sounds, and scenery of new surroundings — often through the lens of my camera.

I've found joy in defining my own path, and I hope my blog inspires you to do the same!
