Why âGirl Next Shoreâ? Because Iâm not your average girl-next-doorâIâm the one googling beach getaways at 2 AM. I love the ocean, chaos, and everything travel teaches usâlike how to be broke and happy. This blog is my ode to salty breeze, street smarts, and slow savings. Travel isnât a luxury, itâs a life lesson. So, save a little, pack that bag, and go. Because living? I b-live it means exploring. Welcome to my shoreline of stories.
