Hi, my name is Ashley Schwartau and I have anxiety. I’m also a mom, a bibliophile, and most relevant to you: a travel addict.

I started this blog to write about my family’s adventures while working remotely, parenting a small child, and traveling with anxiety. I focus on affordable travel, work-life balance and mental wellness, and bringing the world to you when you’re not able to go anywhere. I also write a lot about Nashville and how to be a tourist in your own town.

Along for the ride are my patient husband Justin, a craft cocktail hobbyist and hot tub enthusiast, and our young son, Skyler, who is always up for an adventure.

My hope is to share what we’ve learned over the years to help you travel cheaper, travel more, and travel better. After all, travel is stressful.

I want to help you feel at home, no matter where you go.
