My Career Background
I do social media marketing for spiritualists, therapists, financial advisors, realtors, and small businesses. I've been freelancing and working remotely since 2017. Prior to that, I worked as a social media professional in corporate and agency offices for years before making the leap to freelance writing.My Travel Background
As a travel and food writer, I love experiencing the nooks and crannies, tasting the nibbles and crumbs, and sharing it however I can. I've visited 22 countries & 12 U.S. states. I've worked with tourism boards throughout the U.S. on various press trips/FAM tours. Part of being a travel writer/blogger means traveling frequently!In 2022, I've been grateful to travel and attend events. I saw Mission Bay San Diego with Discover Mission Bay and Mesa, Arizona with Visit Mesa. I went to Rombauer Vineyards Blue Party in San Diego which you can check out on my Instagram Reel.
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!
