Welcome to Encompassed Travels!

Hi! Marie here. I'm a world explorer and English teacher with a passion for working for myself and living a nomadic lifestyle. I started this blog in 2022 after living in Japan for a few years with the goal of sharing my personal experiences and stories I've accumulated through years abroad. It's also my hope that you can use itineraries and advice I've written from my experiences. Click the boxes below to begin exploring or find your own way through the site. Welcome!
