β˜€οΈ Hola, I’m Joie! I’m a California native but have also lived in New York, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and various parts of the world. I moved out of NY in May of 2019, sold most of my stuff and have been a nomad since! 😊✈️🌎 Β Β 

πŸ’» I’ve been to over 45 countries thus far β€” several of which I return to over and over again. I really value slow travel, and I love working from and living in different places around the world. I spend most of my time in Mexico City, MedellΓ­n, and lately β€” summers in Barcelona/Europe. Β 

✨ My mission is to inspire you to see the world (even on a budget), travel like a local, fill your life with stories and adventures, and live it to the fullest!
