Y’all know I love watching folks live their best lives, so when I met Courtney Georgi Ellis online and we talked about the gap year she was on, I totally started crushing on her.

Courtney inspired me to start an interview series with gap year travelers to share their experiences during their time traveling.

In this video, Courtney tells us about her first four months on the road, including the secret reason to go to Senegal, why she will never go back to Morocco, maintaining mental health on this journey, becoming a digital nomad, and how she hustled to fund her trip. 

Check out Courtney in this video, and then go say hello to her on Instagram (instagram.com/justmegeorgi)
