Welcome!

Hello world. Welcome to Poetic Peach. My name is Ella and I created the ultimate blog hotpot for travel, money, and life advice with poetry sprinkled into the mix.

Travel

In my younger days, I had the opportunity to sail all around the globe on several merchant vessels. During my time at sea, I set foot in 11 different countries. Even though my sailing adventures are over, I still have the travel bug! As of today, my nation count is 15.

Money

Throughout my life as an adult, I’ve been able to master my budget. During my young adult life, I’ve purchase four cars (three of which were lovely beaters), rented a few apartments, invested in the stock market and paid off a $600/month debt. I was able to do all this all while enjoying nights out with my friends and without feeling guilty when I splurged at my favorite local bookshop.

It took a few losses and mishaps, but now I am finally at a place where I can finally say I am no longer afraid to check my bank account or credit card balances!

I was so stoked to buy my first non beater car!

Life

As one young woman to another, I want to share the wisdom I’ve gathered from the challenges I’ve faced over the years. On some situations, I came out on top. On others…not so much. Yet no matter the outcome, I always walked away wiser and with a better perspective.  I hope this opens the platform for others to share their advice as well.

Last but not least….

Poetry

There is something about words – whether it be a quote, a mantra, a song or a poem – that has the ability to stir our souls. I’m sharing some of my work, but I would love to highlight other poets out there! Contact me if you’d like to share your work <3
