In 2019, I had the crazy idea of doing what I always wanted to do: living abroad and making money while doing it. So I booked a one way ticket from New York City to Paris and never looked back, traveling around the Mediterranean and Europe, working and writing along the way. During this time I was a contributing writer for the upstart travel website Shut Up and Go, founded by travel personalities Damon Dominique and Jo Franco. For better or worse that chapter of their lives ended, and so did the website, which was shut down after being sold in a private deal. In this section of my portfolio are some of the articles that once graced the pages of Shut Up and Go, saved for posterity in their raw and uncensored versions.
