Harrison Pierce head shot - Condé Nast Traveler

Harrison Pierce

Born and raised in North Carolina, Harrison had the radical idea to sell every last belonging and travel the world full-time with nothing but a suitcase and his cat, Isabelle. Along the way, he refined his love for writing and now enjoys working with brands to tell stories and create travel and personal finance guides. A UNC-Chapel Hill grad, Harrison will always be a Tar Heel at heart. Today, you can find him drinking coffee in Colombia or eating pastries in Lisbon, wherever the wind takes him.
