About Carolyn
Carolyn Boston is a digital nomad working as a freelance writer specializing in the travel and tourism niche. As a full-time traveler, she has explored more than 20 countries across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond. Carolyn prefers to stay at least a month in each location, allowing for deeper immersion in local cultures, discovering hidden gems, interacting with locals, and truly experiencing the uniqueness of each place visited.
Carolyn’s writing is fueled by a passion for sharing the stories and insights gathered during travels, with the goal of inspiring others to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the wonders of the world.
As she continues to explore, one of her dreams is to write a book that captures the essence of these travels, taking readers to the places visited and introducing them to the people met along the way.
How did you get into travel
I’ve always had a passion for travel and writing, so becoming a travel writer felt like a natural fit for me. My journey into travel writing began when I started documenting my adventures in a personal blog.
Eventually, I took the bold step of leaving my corporate job to embrace the digital nomad lifestyle, giving me the freedom to travel full-time without the constraints of limited vacation days. Now, eight years later, and after seeing more than 20 countries, I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
Carolyn's unique travel experience
One of my most unique travel experiences was when I spent a month living in a small mountain village in Nepal. I stayed with a local family where I witnessed their daily life and learned about their traditions and culture.
