Blogs of Travel

I’ve been self-employed for over a decade and have been traveling since 1999, although in the beginning it was on a part-time basis, usually on two to three month stints outside of the U.S. I left all that behind in January of 2008 and transitioned into a permanent expat, also known as a digital nomad. I specialize in immersion travel and helping others enjoy absolute freedom and an early retirement through the expat lifestyle.

MariaAbroad is a Travel Blog to inspire you and show you cool places around the world. I'll share articles about travel, culture, and craft beer. Follow me along, as I adventure through the world, one beer at a time.
