Girl Paid To Travel World’s Most Gorgeous Sites, Her 24 Best Photos Are Jaw-Dropping.

As far as bucket lists go, there’s undeniably one theme that many share: To have a great adventure.

For some that may be skydiving or riding an elephant or meeting the President, but for Kiersten Rich, she’s focused on the overall theme of traveling around the world.

Known on Instagram as ‘theblondeabroad,’ this incredible young woman is actually paid to live out her dream. But her backstory is even more interesting.

To put it simply, a completely different path laid before her when she was in college.  She had a 4.0 GPA in Finance and had a full-time job lined up.  But she knew that she needed a change. According to her blog,

“My decision to leave my firm came unexpectedly. I hadn’t once considered that my 10 year plan would be so far off from what I wanted to do. But I still didn’t know what I wanted to “be.‒

After moving from L.A. to Hollywood, Kiersten still didn’t feel fulfilled. So she started the transition to become the woman she is today… the founder and spokeswoman of The Blonde Abroad:

“I am now on the road nine months of the year and have a six-member team helping run this site. The Blonde Abroad has become a multi-level business and has various revenue streams including affiliate programs, consulting, social media marketing and digital content creation.”

The pictures below are just a small peak into the inspiring, motivating and fascinating travels of Kiersten, who took her life into her own hands and showed us that it’s NEVER too late!
