Hi! I’m Anastasia Clare Hansen. I’m a frequent flier, avid athlete, art lover, vegan foodie, wellness warrior, and Houston ambassador.
I’m a passionate storyteller who has been documenting my travels for nearly a decade. I started my first blog when I studied abroad in Santiago, Chile in 2012. When I started my management consulting career in 2014, I dove headfirst into the blogging world and built a wonderful Houston community at It’s Not Hou It’s Me. In 2019, I moved to Paris for the summer and began to grow my personal Instagram account with an emphasis on lifestyle and travel.
With the disruption of the world due to COVID-19, I realized I wanted a new unique space to write to evolve with me. This blog is a digital scrapbook to document all the wonderful milestones, travels, and adventures in my life.
What I Write
Travel
I’m the fourth-generation in my family to have visited all the US states. I’ve been to 35+ countries and love to explore everything from glamping destinations to luxury hotels.
LIFESTYLE
I love picnics and fitness and cooking elaborate vegan recipes. I have grand plans to renovate my kitchen and bathrooms, but in the meantime am content tending to my herb garden.
CAREER
I’m a Chemical Engineer working full time as a management consultant. I specialize in Design Thinking and read A LOT of books. I’ve worked in the US, Chile, The Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. Feminist through and through.
Want to collaborate?
I only publish reviews of products and experiences that I feel comfortable endorsing and am proud to associate. You can ensure that all the content on this blog is my true opinion and not adulterated in any way. Any post that has received monetary compensation is clearly noted as sponsored. I do not accept guest posts.
