In 2013, I packed up my life for my first solo backpacking trip—and a year later, I relocated to France. Travel didn’t just broaden my horizons; it sharpened my storytelling. From 2013–2019, I ran Darkk Horse Travel (www.darkkhorsetravel.com), a blog that chronicled where I’d been, where I was headed, and the people I met along the way.
What began as a passion project quickly became a training ground for professional skills that translate directly into marketing: creating engaging long-form and short-form content, building a consistent brand voice, driving readership through organic promotion, and fostering audience loyalty over six years of publishing. Blogging taught me how to capture attention, keep readers invested, and translate authentic experiences into content that resonates—skills I now bring to every campaign I work on.
