  • Sky has traveled to over 20 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas so far. She has frequented different types of beaches, from little-known private islands in Cambodia to bustling city-side seasides in Spain. The vast majority of them she has visited completely alone, making her an authority when it comes to solo travel.
  • Many of her unique travel articles are inspired by the abandoned destinations she's explored all over the world, from deserted waterparks in Vietnam to a historic mansion on an island in Colombia.
  • Believing that one of the best forms of travel adventure is hitting the road, Sky has taken many exciting road trips all over the world, including throughout Mexico and Spain, where she was accompanied by her little dog, Bear. Most recently, she traveled around Taiwan and plans to use this experience to further inform her travel writing.

Experience

Ever since Sky first got a taste of travel, she knew it had to be a permanent portion of her lifestyle. After six months of solo exploration around Southeast Asia in 2019, Sky was inspired to pursue travel writing as a career. Many years, destinations, and exciting experiences later, she's developed her full-blown career as a professional writer, photographer, and video creative. Her written work has garnered millions of reads on websites like Travel Lemming, Islands, Explore Zippia, and FashionCast. She also has her own blog about how she developed a career in writing on Medium. As a writer for Islands, Sky enjoys covering everything from underrated tourist destinations to reviewing the best beaches that every coast has to offer.
