About Me
Hi,
I’m Deb, founder of Somewhere IRL, book lover, and avid traveler. Somewhere IRL started from my deep desire to stop living in my head and truly explore the places, things, and experiences around me. I consider it my passion project and my call to, quite literally, go touch grass and focus on the things happening in my real life.
I love travelling and I have visited 14 countries so far. The thrill and sense of adventure I feel in new destinations is unmatched. I hope to bring that same sense of adventure and exploration into my daily life and share useful tips and guides on curating quality adventures both at home and away.
