I’m a travel content creator and photographer, born in Chicago, and the main force behind our YouTube channel, Maria & Olivia. Here on Urban & Beyond I focus on the practical side of travel, from camera gear and photography setups to car rentals and the logistics that make trips run smoothly. I enjoy breaking down the details that often get overlooked, helping travellers feel more confident, prepared, and able to spend their time enjoying the journey rather than figuring things out on the go.
