Hi, I’m Dani! A 20-something living in Chicago, working in finance and aspiring to see as much of the world as possible. I graduated with a masters degree in accounting, passed the CPA exam and began my career in finance, but take any opportunity I can to plan a trip.
My love for travel began when I had the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona my junior year of college. This was the first time I had ever lived more than 2 hours away from home and I fell in love with travel. I spent that semester traveling across Europe with my friends and, of course, falling in love with Barcelona.
I hope to inspire you to plan your next trip and go on adventures that fill your soul
I decided to create Dani Elise in the midst of the pandemic while I was stuck at home as a new college graduate, longing to see the world. I knew I wanted an outlet to share my travel research, tips, and experiences, and thus, the blog was born.
I’m so excited to share my journey making memories all over the world while sharing tips, resources, and advice along the way. Whether you’re planning your first trip or 100th trip, I hope to inspire and encourage your future travels!
