Welcome! I’m Liz, the voice behind The Mid-Paced Passport. If you’re here, chances are you share my love for thoughtful, balanced travel that savors the journey as much as the destination.
I believe travel doesn’t have to be a race from one must-see attraction to the next. Instead, it’s about finding joy in exploring new cultures, immersing in natural beauty, and discovering hidden gems—all while leaving space to breathe, reflect, and truly connect with the places you visit.

Why “Mid-Paced”?
After years of exploring the world, I’ve found my sweet spot: a pace that allows me to fully experience a place without rushing yet still leaves room for spontaneity. I call this mid-paced travel. It’s about creating meaningful moments while staying true to your own rhythm.
For me, this often means:
- Prioritizing natural and cultural experiences over a packed itinerary.
- Choosing accommodations and activities that balance comfort with authenticity.
- Traveling during shoulder seasons to enjoy quieter, more personal experiences.
- Exploring less-traveled, emerging destinations that are equally enchanting.
- Mixing “home” cooking with dining out to savor local flavors when on the road.
Get to Know Me
When I’m not traveling, I’m based in San Francisco, where I enjoy baking, photography, and dreaming up my next adventure—all while balancing my corporate job. My partner and I often travel together, combining our shared love for food, nature, and exploration.
The Mid-Paced Passport reflects not only my travel style but also my belief that travel is about connection—with people, places, and yourself. Through this blog, I hope to inspire others to explore the world thoughtfully and joyfully.
