MEAGAN DRILLINGER

I like many things. Travel is certainly one of them. 

It was a one-time, whimsical, not-all-that-serious response to the question, “What is your passion?” It turns out, I kind of hit the nail on the head.

So hello. I’m Meagan. I’m currently a freelance travel & lifestyle writer and I live a life in two worlds: one is in New York City. The other is out of a suitcase. I love both equally and both define who I am. Since 2009 I’ve been writing full-time for travel and lifestyle outlets, including Travel + Leisure, Lonely Planet, Thrillist, Men’s Health, and others.

Travel has changed my life in every single aspect, and has opened my world to so much more beyond simply visiting new places. It has transformed me into my own boss, it has brought me confidence, success, lessons & heartache, but, above all else, more joy than I could have possibly imagined. I hope here you will find the information you need to get where you’re going, and the inspiration to do it on your own terms.

It is vitally important to me to be able to bring you the truth about all things: the places I visit, the people I meet, and who I am as a person. So thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll find this to be a safe, informative, and inspiring space. For me, there is no greater gift than the gift to inspire others to say “f*ck it” and buy a plane ticket.
