About Me

Hi! I'm Brit

Welcome... I'm so happy you're here! My name is Brittany, and I'm the travel blogger and content creator behind Travel by Brit.

A little backstory… after venturing through Europe with my husband on our honeymoon in 2019, I realized incredible travel experiences don’t have to be difficult to execute with the right mindset and plan. With the help of my career in content writing and my marketing degree, I created Travel by Brit in 2020 to help women with everyday lives (like me) create a practical plan, budget, and itinerary to make their travel dreams a reality!

As you might have guessed… I’m not a career traveler, fashion blogger, or backpacker (and have no plans to be!). I’m just a mom and a writer who wants to experience as much of our beautiful world as possible in my free time (and share ALL about it with my friends… that’s you!). If I’m being honest… I genuinely love the normalcy of my day-to-day routine and the simple things in life… but I’m also always looking forward to my next adventure in or around the USA.

Here at Travel by Brit, you’ll find relatable travel advice and attainable USA travel itineraries for real people — what I like to call the “sweet spot” between budget and luxury travel. Believe me, I am all for a good deal… but I am also all for splurging on things that make a trip unforgettable, like a unique hotel, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, or a fancy dinner. I like to save where I can, so I can splurge on the travel experiences that are really important to me!

Does that sound like how you like to travel, too? If so… let’s be friends. I think you are going to love it here!

Fun Facts About Brit

I’ve been to 33/50 states (and counting!). Keep reading to learn more about my favorite destinations. Some states I have not been to that are high on my bucket list are Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia.

I’m a huge dog lover… and I especially love golden retrievers. We have two golden retrievers, Sedona and Dakota (and we are obsessed with them… just ask anyone who knows us!).

I’m proud to be an Arizona native. I've lived in PHX my entire life and love being close to my family and friends and involved in my local community. I live with my husband, Michael, and our daughter!

I don't share about my daughter online out of respect for her privacy… but being a mom is the highlight of my life, and traveling has only gotten more fun since she's joined our family. Becoming a mom has fueled my passion for travel even more… it’s such a powerful tool to help kids learn and to foster gratitude.

My first “real” job was as a barista at a local coffee shop… and my love for coffee has carried on well past my barista career. You’ll find a lot of recommendations for local coffee shops in my content because I love supporting them (and sampling all the iced lattes, of course!).

Aside from traveling (of course!) some of my hobbies include reading (I actually had a book blog waaay back in the day!), hiking and staying active outdoors, country dancing, getting together with friends, and baking (I’m currently working on mastering the art of sourdough... stay tuned for my progress!).
