My story

My brand’s mission
The Mindful Mermaid is a personality-based travel and lifestyle blog to help readers make an impact through their travels and every-day life. Through my personal narrative and insider guiders, I explore the intersections of travel, lifestyle, and mindfulness.

With my background in journalism, sustainability, and advocacy, I have established my authority and unique voice as one of the top conscious travel and lifestyle blogs, featured in Feed Spot, Green Global Travel, Matador, Croatia Week, Matador Network, Hotel World and Expert Vagabond.
Mindfulness is not just some hippie-dippie thing you do in the back of a yoga class.
Mindfulness starts with self-awareness, but I believe it must also intersect with community, culture, and the planet.
COMMUNITY
I believe mindfulness means coming to terms with your privileges and your impact on the community around you. Practicing mindfulness helps me take a step back and listen to better advocate for those in my community.
CULTURE
Experiencing new cultures changed my life. It eventually gave me the courage to move abroad. I believe travel can be a vehicle of positive change by increasing our mindfulness of other cultures. It can help us come to terms with our own cultural biases and give us a well rounded view of the world around us.
PLANET
To me sustainability comes hand-in-hand with mindfulness. It’s virtually impossible without being mindful of our human impact, on an individual and systemic level. Increased mindfulness within our own lifestyle is exactly what our planet needs.
