About Charlotte

Charlotte is a Filipina digital nomad and SEO specialist, currently working from wherever her laptop and Wi-Fi happen to be. She's the voice behind Charlielotte Wanders, a slowly-written memoir about wandering, working, and (occasionally) figuring life out. With a background in English language and literature, she overthinks her captions more than anyone should have to. A committed slow traveler, she'd rather learn the local word for "delicious" than tick off a landmark. Always chasing a good book, a new place to explore, and one more language to stumble through.
