My Career Background
I do social media marketing for therapists, financial advisors, realtors, and small businesses. I quit my full-time corporate job in 2017 to pursue my dream of blogging, coaching, & working remotely. 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 working remotely for 4 years!!!Fred, my boyfriend, is a freelance cannabis copywriter who creates content for some pretty cool websites. He also writes for other clients like a jewelry brand & even a pet farm store.
My Travel Background
My heart is filled with wanderlust. I've visited 22 countries & 11 U.S. states. I've worked with tourism boards throughout the US on various press trips/FAM tours. Part of being a travel influencer means traveling frequently!In 2019 I visited 6 countries - France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Italy, & Mexico. I also went on a press trip to Lompoc, California & visited Anacapa Island. At the beginning of 2020, prior to quarantine in California, I visited Mexico a couple of times.
As a blog + social media consultant, I also work with travel brands & travel influencers to manage their online presence. 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'm currently rewatching Schitt's Creek. Let me know if you have Disney+/Hulu/Netflix 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 a San Diego lifestyle blogger. As a San Diego blogger, you might find me exploring the different areas in North County as well as San Diego! I've written blog posts about Encinitas, Oceanside, & North County things to do.
Now I'm working full-time as a social media manager, travel influencer, & blogging coach. Follow me through my journey! I'm glad you're here. :]

Carmen you sound like a very interesting person. I have one question for you. What was it about Lompoc, Ca that you found interesting enough to visit? My wife and me live in Santa Maria about 20 miles from Lompoc and find it interesting that out of all the places you have been that you would visit Lompoc.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve. Great question. I went to Lompoc on a press trip with Explore Lompoc. Several journalists, magazine freelancers, & writers were invited to come out & given a tour of the area. Thanks for stopping by!
