Welcome to The Blog
Welcome to Syd Abroad — my curated corner of the internet dedicated to all things boutique travel and photography. I’m Sydney, a 25 year old from Austin, Texas, and I’m glad you’re here!
I’ve always had a passion for travel, photography, architecture, and interiors so I created this blog as a place to share my adventures and sprinkle some inspiration your way! There’s nothing I love more than immersing myself in new cultures and creating unforgettable memories. I truly believe that we can learn so much more from traveling than we ever could inside a classroom.
Originally, this platform was essentially a digital scrapbook, a visual diary of my adventures. Now, it’s transformed into your go-to resource for insightful destination guides, travel tips, and inspiration. I want to show that travel is within reach for anyone regardless of their budget.
I graduated college in 2021 from the University of Alabama. During my time in college, I got the chance to spend a semester abroad in Thailand during my junior year. (which literally changed my life, lol typical I know, but I am serious.) Suddenly, the world felt much more attainable and my love for travel continued to grow. This was during the year 2020… so when I got abruptly sent home due to the pandemic after 3 months of living in Bangkok, I was even more determined to see the world after the pandemic.
Living in Thailand was a big inspiration for pursuing this blog and I’m excited to continue to share my experiences and travel tips with you. I’ve been to 29 countries and counting, and continue to encourage others to get out there and see this beautiful earth we live on.
