THE TRAVEL DIARY

I’m Nancy 

Though my path has been long and winding, my journey towards travelling full-time and becoming a travel nurse was written in the stars - long before I even knew my destination.

I was born under the “travel sign” Aries, and I’ve always been a restless spirit, with trouble staying in one place.

Where it all

As a crisis nurse working with FEMA during the pandemic, I found myself witnessing moments in healthcare throughout the pandemic that transformed me as a person and drove a passion within me to find a greater purpose in life.

Working these first responder roles opened opportunities and experiences across the globe like I never imagined. I’ve been on a non-stop adventure ever since, from wild, remote Alaska to the turquoise waters of the Greek Isles.

It was in Egypt that everything changed for me. Something inside me shifted and ever since that day inside the Great Sphinx of Giza, I've never been quite the same. It's opened up a lifetime of travel and I can't wait to see where it takes me next.


Whether you're a wanderer, a dreamer or a restless heart—the best way to find yourself is to get out of your comfort zone and explore the world. 

Through my own extensive travels, I’ve cultivated the local contacts and “insider” knowledge needed to make each trip an authentic, safe, and transformative experience and you don't have to travel alone. 

No more saying "some day", because your day has come.

Travel nursing became my preferred route for my medical career, because it offers unrivalled flexibility, excellent rates of pay and rewarding, yet challenging positions.

Healthcare organizations typically seek out travel nurses during times of immense pressure and amidst staffing shortages. Whilst it can be high-octane at times, it allows me to pick and choose my preferred contracts, freeing up so much time each year for travel and other experiences.
