About Me

Let’s start with the basics.

My name is Ella.

I was born in Nebraska, grew up in Alaska, and then moved right outside NYC after high school.

I spent my late teens and early twenties on sailing on merchant vessels that literally took me around the globe. In just under a year traveling to 11 different countries and various American states along the coast. Now I’m working full time, pursing the dream of financial independence with passive income.

In short, I’m a number crunching, poetry loving, oat milk drinking woman who dreams of a vagabond life. 

OTHER FUN FACTS

-I grew up in the rainiest city in America. So now, even though I moved away, I feel guilty if I don’t spend at least 20 minutes or so in the sunshine.

-Favorite destination visited thus far: Singapore

-I am obsessed with all of Hayao Miyazaki’s films. When the Ghibli park opens in 2022, I’ll be in line to be one of the first visitors!

-Best financial book I’ve read: I Will Teach You How to be Rich  By Ramit Sethi

-I’m a morning caffeine lady. I prefer my coffee black and my tea with a splash of oat creamer and honey.
