Girl With a Pla!

Some journeys begin with a plan. Others begin with a pause, a question, or a quiet need to step away and see things differently.
Girl With A Pla! began in that space — where plans felt chaotic, but the urge to explore was clear.

I rarely travel with a perfect itinerary. Instead, I carry a pla — an idea, an intention, and a sense of what I want from the experience. I believe travel should be about journeys and experiences, about slowing down enough for stories, lives, and new perspectives to unfold.

I’m a 20-something woman learning to thrive, stumble, and find her way toward financial independence. I’ve always been someone who shows up with sincerity, to learning, to experiences, and to life. My college years went beyond academics, shaping a thought process and a sense of self I deeply value today.

I’m drawn to stories, people, and moments that make me pause and think. As a student of humanities, I value what keeps us grounded and humane. As a student of marketing, I’m endlessly curious about how people think, choose, and feel. That curiosity often pulls me toward travel, where emotions, decisions, and stories unfold most honestly.

For me, travel isn’t just about places. It’s about experiences and choices, the beautiful, the uncomfortable, and everything in between. This blog is where I document my journeys and reflections, without rigid rules or perfect plans.

Wander, wonder, whatever!
