How a 27-year-old turned her travel blog into a lucrative side gig using TikTok - MSN

  • Nabila Ismail works at GoodRx by day and blogs about travel at night.
  • Her side hustle started to pick up speed once brands reached out to partner.
  • She hopes to make solo travel more popular, especially for people of color.
When 27-year-old Nabila Ismail logs off of her 9-to-5 job as an engagement marketing manager at GoodRx, her thoughts immediately turn to travel — reflecting on past trips, tracking US Department of State travel advisories, and planning future excursions.

Although many other workers do the same, Ismail's motivation has an added layer: She's the creator of Dose of Travel, a platform dedicated to showing how women of color can safely and affordably travel solo. With an audience of more than 24,000 followers on TikTok and 14,000 followers on Instagram, she connects with women around the world to answer questions about where to visit, how to do so on a budget, and why diverse representation in the travel industry is so important.
