Bringing Adventures to the Curious

Girl in baseball cap at the Arches

Hi! I’m Artsy.

I help the curious discover adventures in art, food & travel by providing practical tips and inspiration with a unique funny perspective.

Why? Because I want you to see beautiful things, eat love on a plate and experience how life-changing travel can be.

If you want to laugh, learn and get a bit quirky while planning your next great adventure, you’re in the right place!

join the tribe!
“Artsy Chow Roamer imbues her world with a breezy sense of authenticity crossed with an unfettered spirit. Whether you’re coming for off-the-beaten-path tricks and hacks or you just want to take a quick lap around the planet while you lounge by a cozy fire, she’ll broaden your mind and help you cross the seas in an intimate, entertaining, and personal way.”
— Spencer Lum-Extra Bold
