Welcome!

My name is Anna and I’m a 30-something tech PR pro obsessed with travel & the outdoors.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I was based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now, I’m road tripping the USA and working remotely.

I firmly believe that you can live a life of travel while pursuing a successful, all in career. I love my job, but I work to live: I’ll never leave a vacation day on the table or participate in work martyr-ism.

So far, The Weekend Jetsetter is a place to chronicle my adventures in balancing work and travel. I write weekend guides to my favorite destinations and share my favorite travel and finance tips. I make a very minimal side income from this blog that largely goes to paying for the cost of maintaining a website. Long story short: I do this for fun because life is about more than the hustle.

I’m excited to share my travels with you! Subscribe to my email list to download my free eBook “How I Afford to Travel,” or join our Weekend Jetsetters community on Facebook to chat with likeminded travelers.
