My name is Candace and I’m a 27-year-old full-time travel blogger and American living abroad since 2016, hopelessly in love with London, travel, and combining my life with the two. But let me start from the beginning.
It was 2015 and when college time came around and I couldn’t see myself staying in the U.S. I had always loved British culture, movies, tv shows (and accents) but never pictured myself actually living there.
Anyways after a few months of constant frustration mixed with a dash of existential crisis, I stumbled on a ‘Now This’ video about studying for free in Germany, which led me to look at studying and living in Europe. But, I caught my eyes on London and haven’t looked back since.
Realizing travel could in fact coexist alongside my many others goals, career, education and even business lead me down the path of getting both my degrees in the UK (including an MBA in International Business), and starting my London & travel blog turned full-time job, Candace Abroad.
With no plans to leave London—I’m constantly reinventing myself here, discovering something new every day, and hopefully helping you do the same.
From purposely getting lost to discover hidden streets or planning out my entire day around trying a new cafe (I do love my coffee), I’m determined to never let the magic of this city get lost on me.
I also LOVE to travel, especially to cities, so you’ll find plenty of travel guides here too to inspire your next adventure.
Having worked in startup & influencer marketing for 5 years before going full-time as a travel blogger myself, I also have plenty of resources to share when it comes to Blogging & Social Media.
Alongside several accessible social media courses on How to Build a Niche Community Online, How to Pitch Brands for Paid Partnerships and How to Negotiate & Work With Brands.
I hope my blog inspires you to explore, take a chance on your dreams, and of course, live your best London life.
Happy Londoning,
