Who Is Val Powell?

I'm a New Yorker at heart and a world traveler by choice. My journey as a digital nomad began in 2014, and over 40 countries later, I still have an insatiable passion for exploration.


Choosing the nomadic lifestyle is the best decision I've made in my life. I've experienced the sheer wonder of swimming alongside majestic whale sharks in the Philippines and conquering the challenging ascent of Arenal's massive volcano in Costa Rica. I've marveled at the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala, witnessed the sun rise over the temples of Bayon in Angkor Wat, Cambodia, and wandered through the awe-inspiring Acropolis in Athens, Greece.


While working as a copywriter and content specialist for over a decade, I've also called places like Singapore, Bali, Belgrade, and Cebu home. Every country, every city, every adventure has been a profound lesson, enriching my life in countless ways. Join me on DrifterDose as I share my experiences, tips, and the transformative power of travel.
