On this episode I have a very special guest, who is a dear friend of mine and was one of of my college roommates for two years, Neve Moos (@neve_moos). Neve graduated college with me from Marquette University in May 2019 and signed a three month sublease in Los Angeles, California with absolutely no plans and is now styling celebrities full time.
Join us in this fun, emotional, and unplanned conversation about our lives in college versus our lives post graduation. Neve speaks on how she chose to chase her dreams in LA and is now styling celebrities.
Over time, she has learned how to overcome anxieties, learned more about self love, and now understands her self worth by pushing herself out of her comfort zone

Fear is something that is instilled in us at a very young age. Usually it comes from a scenario that we experienced or someone that has projected their fear onto us. Doing something that’s scary will help alleviate that fear, but also allows you to get more in touch with your true beliefs.
Neve and I openly talk about doing something that scares us. For Neve, she decided to move to Los Angeles with absolutely no plan. For me, I decided to move to Asia. We talk about the hardships but also the amazing rewards that comes with overcoming fear.
Self worth is something both Neve and I have struggled with. On this episode of The Female Passion Project Podcast, we openly talk about the hardships that come with finding our self worth.
Check out some of my favorite tools and companies I actually use when I travel.
Need a Bank Account for Life Abroad? Wise is the best option for travelers, study abroad students and expats. I use it as my everyday checking account since it lets me hold and spend in multiple currencies without getting hit with a bad exchange rate every time I cross a border.
Want to Travel for Free & Skip the Foreign Transaction Fees? I put my spending on my Chase Sapphire Preferred card and let the points cover flights and hotels I'd otherwise be paying for out of pocket. I've been able to use the points I earn on this card to pay for flights, hotels and meals all around the world!
Please Don't Forget Travel Insurance! Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. I never go on a trip without it. My two favorites are:
Need a Flight? I personally love using Google Flights to track prices and compare dates before I commit, the flexible date view alone has saved me a lot of money. Skyscanner is another great search engine to find cheap flights because it searches sites and airlines around the globe, so you know no cheap deal is being left on the table.
Getting Around Southeast Asia? Book your buses, trains, and ferries with 12Go Asia. One search shows you every route and price, so you're not digging through ten different local booking sites.
Need a Place to Stay? Book your hotel with Expedia, where I start looking, especially when I want to bundle flights and stays together. Hotels.com is my backup when I want to compare prices or I'm chasing their rewards program for a free night.
On a Tighter Budget? Hostelworld is where I go for hostels. It has the largest inventory out there, and you can search for dorm beds or private rooms depending on what you're after!
Want a Free Way to Travel? Try TrustedHousesitters! You look after someone's home and pets while they're away, and in exchange you get free accommodation (minus the subscription fee). It's a great option if you're traveling long term and want to cut costs. I personally use this as a host and a sitter, and it's truly great!
Need Inspiration or Just Want to See What's Out There? Go Guides is a solid resource for destination guides, must-see landmarks, local markets, best beaches, and things to do, browsable by place or by theme. It's a good stop whether you already know where you're headed or you're still looking for your next destination.
Check out my full packing gear guide for everything I bring on international trips, or browse my favorite travel finds on Amazon for quick links to it all.
Check out my full resource page for every company I use when I travel. I list them all in one place so you can go from planning to booked without digging through old blog posts!
Hey there, I'm Angelique!
I'm a Filipina-American, Chicago native living abroad and running my online design agency from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Over a decade of traveling in, and yes, I still pinch myself.

This blog is where I share the honest side of living and traveling abroad, the places I explore, my best study abroad tips from personal experience, and the little hacks that make this life actually work. Glad you're here, friend!
