For over 8 years, Travel Fashion Girl has helped women travel carryon only in a stylish and efficient way. We empower female travelers with the confidence to live fearlessly, embrace style, and collect moments, not things.

In 2008, I quit my job in the fashion industry when the economic crash upended my life and altered my path completely. 

I worked for a very large corporation that produces some of the largest fashion events in the world. I had been there for six years and saw no signs of stopping, wanting to continue climbing the corporate ladder and focus on my career.

By January 2008, life took an unexpected turn when layoffs started to hit. Suddenly, my boss got promoted and I was the natural choice to replace him. Instead, the company didn’t promote me but asked that I train my boss’s replacement and they demoted me.

Devastated, I decided to take a short break from my career track and travel for three months before starting a new job. I ventured out to El Salvador, Peru, and India.

I experienced the openness of other cultures and different ways of thinking, and on that last trip to India, I vowed to continue exploring other places and fell hard for travel.

Still, I wouldn’t have imagined embarking on a decade-long journey of full-time travel through over 50 countries and carrying all my worldly possessions in a suitcase. I lived on and off in places like Thailand, the UK, and Mexico.

As I went along, I couldn’t help noticing how hard it was to pack efficiently, let alone wear travel clothes that actually felt like myself.

So in August 2012, I started Travel Fashion Girl to document my packing struggles and open a dialogue with other women who also felt frustrated and only wanted to feel like themselves wherever they went.
