 Who is IT'S CARMEN?

The view from Luxembourg

Why hello! I'm Carmen. :]

I'm a lifestyle blogger, digital influencer, & blogging + social media coach based in sunny San Diego, California. What does a blog coach do? Click here to find out more. I share thoughtful posts about blogging, entrepreneurship, travel, food, & everything that makes life the grand adventure it is.

My Blogging Background

I'm not a blogging rookie. I've been blogging for 8 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 just within the last 30 days! 

My Career Background

I quit my full-time corporate job in 2017 to pursue my dream of blogging, coaching, & working remotely for myself. Prior to that, I worked as a social media professional in corporate & agency offices for years before making the leap to solo entrepreneurship. I can't believe I've been self-employed for 2 years!!!

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

My heart is filled with wanderlust. In 2018 I visited (Cancún, Puerto Nuevo, Rosarito, Querétaro) Mexico, (El Paso) Texas, Girona & Barcelona, Spain, Berlin, Germany, Oslo, Norway, & manyyyyyy cities throughout California (Berkeley, San Francisco, San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, & more). 2019 has been all about exploring California: Santa Barbara, Los Angeles.

I always keep an eye out for good flight deals. Google Flights is my favorite way to save hundreds of dollars on a flight.

I've been vegetarian for 14 years. I'm blasting through Game of Thrones (I've watched 3 seasons in 2 weeks!). Although, I did just sign up for Hulu. Let me know if you have Hulu recommendations! 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. :]
