Hi there! I’m so excited to meet you. My name is Tessa, I’m a Pisces, and I’m the creator of Oat Milk Miel—a slow travel blog. For the past several years, I’ve been going on crazy, extended adventures around the world with my little family. Oat Milk Miel is a space where I hope to share guides, itineraries, and helpful tidbits I’ve learned along the way to empower you on your travels.
If you’re at all wondering about my background, I’m a twenty-something with a degree in Geography, a Master’s in Sustainable Destination Management, and close to five years of professional experience in the Destination Management, Tour Operator, and Destination Marketing space. Basically, I’m in so deep with tourism that I have a true love-hate relationship with it.
I’m currently based out of east Tennessee, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, working a remote day job, trying to figure out how to raise a tiny human, and how to balance a love for home with an undying desire to go somewhere new. I’m married to an artist, have a scruffy pup, and have recently acquired a five-year-old bonsai tree (unrelated, but it feels noteworthy?)
If you choose to stick around, or follow me on social media, you’re bound to learn more about my incredibly dysfunctional, somewhat reserved, and largely hopeful disposition.
But for now, thank you for being here.
P.S. I’m a die-hard when it comes to the Oxford comma, so if you can’t cope, this may not be the blog for you…
