About Me

I'm Amirah (pronounced Uh-Meer-Uh). In 2013, my husband Jarrell and I left Ohio as newlyweds on a one-way flight and have been traveling since. Thirteen years later we're hosting luxury retreats around the world, and figuring out what it means to build a life entirely on our own terms.

This blog is where I document all of it. The travel, the work, the creative projects, and the ongoing experiment of creating the lifestyle you actually want. - a hopeful romantic, determined to enjoy my life. Sometimes I'm a lady of leisure, baking and being domestic. Sometimes I'm goal oriented, aggressively going after the next venture. This is my little corner of the internet.
