Hi! My name is Lia World Traveler, I’m glad you’re here!

Born in New York City and raised in upstate, NY, I now live in La Paz, Bolivia with my husband and children. My family is my joy and purpose and keeps me focused on the things in life that matter most.

A little more about me: I am an every woman, by that I mean I love to do and am interested in a lot of things. I am a wife, mom, sister, friend, ambitious and career focused individual, writer and aspiring author, do-it-yourself (DIY) loc’d naturalista, foodie, avid reader, movie buff, sports enthusiast, passionate about music, dance and the arts, news junkie, advocate for the underdog/under-represented, with an incurable bug for traveling and exploring the world.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you decide to stay!

You can always decipher between writers who write to simply get a check and those who are passionate about their craft. Lia, thankfully, belongs to the latter. Lia writes to inspire, to teach, and take you on a journey and we are blessed that she chose our publication to share her skills.
