About Me

 Who is IT'S CARMEN?

Why hello! I'm Carmen. :]

I'm a lifestyle blogger, digital influencer, & blogging + social media coach based in sunny San Diego, California. My goal is to share thoughtful posts about blogging, entrepreneurship, travel, food, & everything that makes life the grand adventure it is.

I've been blogging for 7 years! It all started in 2011 with the occasional poem or short story. Now my blog is read globally with readers in 108 countries - that's only within the last 30 days! 

I quit my full-time corporate job in June 2017 to pursue my dream of blogging, coaching, & working remotely for myself. I worked as a social media professional in corporate & agency offices for years before making the leap to solo entrepreneurship.

Fred, my boyfriend of 6 years, is a freelance cannabis writer who creates content for some pretty cool websites. He blogs occasionally too.

My heart is filled with wanderlust. In 2018 I visited (Puerto Nuevo & Rosarito) Mexico, (El Paso) Texas, & manyyyyyy cities throughout California (Berkeley, San Francisco, San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, & more).

I always keep an eye out for good flight deals. I'm currently traveling throughout Berlin, Germany & Barcelona, Spain, as well as Oslo, Norway during the fall!

I've been vegetarian for 13 years. I'm re-watching The X-Files on Hulu. I am obsessed with drinking fresh mint tea. I'm left-handed. I dye my hair with henna. I like rainy days which is weird for someone who lives in sunny San Diego.

Now I'm working as a full-time entrepreneur, lifestyle blogger, & blogging + social media consultant.  I work from home half the time & travel the other half. Follow me through my journey! I'm glad you're here. :]
