Cory Carnley of Gainesville has a passion for travelling that goes beyond what words can describe. He doesn't just enjoy it, but it's a necessity for him, like oxygen, food, and shelter. He seizes every opportunity to explore and doesn't just idle with his toes in the sand. Instead, he's turned his passion into a career and has become a successful travel blogger, documenting his adventures worldwide. Becoming a travel blogger was not something Cory planned. Like most other students his age, he craved experiences more than possessions. So, he started travelling and blogging about his experiences, which quickly gained a following. At first, he funded his trips by picking up freelance work, selling his pictures, and writing articles. But now, he has created an emerging media empire, generating enough revenue to fund his travels and continue to grow his platform.
Cory primarily focuses on domestic travel, exploring his backyard, the United States. He has already visited 44 of the nation's 50 states and is excited to complete his tour of the U.S. His unique perspective on the country has given him a better understanding and appreciation for the place he calls home. Although it may seem glamorous to be a travel blogger, Cory quickly debunks that misconception. He attributes his success to his dogged determination behind the scenes, always learning, researching, reading, brainstorming, and planning. Travel is not just a weekend getaway for him but also for his business. Overall, Cory is living his dream, exploring life one state at a time, and inspiring others to do the same.
