balancing travel with work

(and other adventures)

Despite what we may be led to believe online, most people I know are balancing travel with a variety of other obligations... and I’m one of those people. I started Sarah Going in 2016 to share my adventures around the world and my adventures figuring out how to travel around the world with a full-time job. No matter what competing priorities you are balancing, I hope that this blog inspires you to create an adventure story of your own.

I was hit with a serious wave of Copenhagen nostalgia this week... . . Copenhagen was the first stop on my six week sabbatical trip through Europe last fall. I woke up every day and just walked all over the city. In Copenhagen, I realized I could actually do this: travel through Europe alone. Write. Take photos. Drink every cappuccino. Eat enough danishes that 20,000 steps a day quickly became necessary 😂 Survive on my own. Thrive on my own. And ultimately, fall in love with #solotravel ✈️ Copenhagen, thanks for teaching me so much about me 💕 Until next time... . . . . . #solofemaletravel #solotraveler #onmyown #travellessons #traveltaughtme #copenhagen #travelcopenhagen #danishes #cappuccinos #liveandlearn #beindependent #bikephoto #denmark #sabbatical #solo #takemeback #nostalgia #reminiscing #travelmemories #parttimetraveller #workandtravel #perfecttiming #luckyshot #lookup #wheretonext #offseasontravel
Due to a collection of circumstances (including a new full-time job), I haven’t traveled much so far this year. Thankfully, that’s about to change ✈️ I wrote a blog post late last night revealing ALL my fall 2019 travel plans... #linkinbio if you want the details 😘 . . . . . . #towerbridge #towerbridgelondon #falltravel #autumntravel #offseasontravel #visitlondon #lovelondon #londonphotos #travelbloggervibes #solofemaletravel #solotravel #solotravelblogger #nashvilleblogger #nashvilletravelblogger #2019trip #travel2019 #travelplanning #visiteurope #autumnineurope #workandtravel2019 #worktotravel #limitedvacationtime #parttimetraveller #wheretonext #newtravelblogpost #newpost #traveltuesday #traveltiptuesday
I’ve always loved taking pictures of flowers, but Columbia Road Flower Market is a tough place to shoot 📸 During the market hours it is BUSY, and if you are out in the center, you have to keep moving to stay out of the way of customers shopping 💐 I managed to snap just a few iPhone shots as I was walking through last year, including this discerning flower fan 🐶 I can’t wait to revisit some of my favorite London markets this fall... and I’ve learned my lesson: get there as early as possible if you want a bit more space 😘 . . . . . #londonmarkets #columbiaroadflowermarket #londonweekend #dogsoflondon #atthemarket #flowermarket #amateurphotography #phototips #flowerphotography #londonphotography #londonphoto #iphonephoto #sundaymarkets #sundayshopping #shoppingdog #visitlondon #avoidthecrowd #wakeupearly #explorelondon #londonlove #londonautumn #goingplaces
What type of travel blog posts do you like? 👩‍💻 Are you a fan of getting the information you need from a blog (without it really mattering who wrote it), or do you want to know more about the writer? Do you like to read personal travel stories, or do we not have time for stories anymore? My latest blog post (#linkinbio) talks a bit about where I stand on this topic... but I’d love to hear what you think 😘 . . . . . #personalblog #personalblogging #personalessay #personalstories #storytellers #travelstories #mytravelstory #adventurestory #myadventures #seek #explore #createadventure #bloggersofinsta #lifeblog #sarahgoing #goingplaces #praguephoto #visitprague #europeadventures #solofemaletravel #solotravelblogger #nashvilletravelblogger #nashvilleblogger #qanda #blogthoughts
Just an obnoxious hostel dorm room mirror selfie I found on my phone from the last time I was in London 😂 But it pretty accurately captures my level of excitement about heading BACK TO LONDON THIS FALL 😝 Flights are done, now it’s time to work on hostels ✈️ What’s your favorite hostel in London? . . . . . . #visitlondon #travellondon #hosteltravel #solotravel #solofemaletravel #solotraveler #favoritecity #travelplans #wombatslondon #wombatshostel #budgettravel #mirrorselfie #hostellife #seelondon #traveleurope #travelbloggervibes #londonhostels #solotravelblogger #solofemaletravelblogger #nashvilleblogger #londonlover #obnoxiousselfie #offseasontravel #workandtravel2019 #workandtravel #acolorstory #photobyiphone #sarahgoing #wheretonext
Good morning ☀️ it’s me. That one travel instagrammer you follow who occasionally doesn’t post anything for a few weeks in a row 😂 But I’m still here. . Not going to sugarcoat it, this summer has been a tough one. Most of my friends and family are moving on to new chapters this summer or fall: new cities, countries, houses, relationships, babies, and careers/educational pursuits. But... I’m not. It has been strange, and has taken some getting used to. And honestly, I’m still getting used to it. . But people move on. I understand that. And I celebrate it 🥂 Change is good. It keeps you challenged, teaches you new things and gives you something to look forward to. Now... I guess I need to figure out what MY next chapter should be (Easier said than done, but I’ll keep ya posted 😘) . . . . . #changeisgood #learnandgrow #nextchapter #summerlessons #learninglessons #movingon #goingplaces #wheretonext #seekinspirecreate #honestthoughts #bevulnerable #beauthentic #beyou #behonest #shareyourtruth #findyourwhy #keepitmoving
