HI, I'M SASHA
The Serendipitous Love + Travel Journalist
Hi, I'm Sasha Tobago, a writer, filmmaker, professor, historian, photographer, podcast host, and the Serendipitous Love & Travel Journalist. Now you may be wondering, what does the latter even mean? Well, let's break it down...
Journalist
First, I am a journalist. Yes, a real one. And one of the good ones. I'm classically trained with degrees in journalism and literary writing; and experiences working for and in newsrooms.
I've interviewed celebrities, politicians, authors, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, cops, firefighters, park rangers, archeologists, daredevils, and more.
Also, for years, I have been conducting research and interviews around the globe on Love, happiness, friendship, relationships and more. Along the way, I have discovered the Universal secrets to True Love, True Happiness and True Fulfillment in Life.
I deeply believe in ethics, objectivity and the important role real, ethical journalists serve as the Fourth Estate in every society around the world.
As an independent journalist, I interview a lot of people, but I also do a ton of research behind the scenes. Because I live by the journalistic creed: Trust but verify.
Global Traveler
Second, I'm a global, eco conscious traveler who has journeyed on 6 continents and nearly all of the 50 United States.
What I love most about travel are the awesome people I meet; the amazing wildlife I encounter; and the fascinating things I learn along the way.
I've always been naturally curious, with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and the Truth. I learn so much about history, culture, nature, flavors, and the world around us when I travel.
And, I learn the Truth about a place and its people when I visit in person. Like what it's really like to live in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Or, the Ugly Truth that Finland, which is annually touted as the "World's Happiest Country," is so corrupt, scammy, and unfriendly in-person — with a high suicide rate, to boot — that it isn't even the happiest place in Europe. Let alone the entire world.
In my films, podcast, prose and more, I am on a journalistic mission to share the golden nuggets of knowledge and wisdom that I collect along the way — via my travels and via my in-depth research.

Professor of Love & Happiness
I was born with a teacher's heart.
I hail from a family of educators; and I am a former college professor who has taught kids, teens and adults, alike.
I never imagined that one day, I would lend my skills and expertise as an educator to author books; produce podcast episodes; and teach Master Classes and free workshops on how you can live your best and happiest Life... starting right now.
Yet, this is where my journey of Life and Serendipity has led me.
I have discovered that one of my Purposes in Life is to guide you, inspire you, and equip you with the tools and wisdom you need to live a fabulous life filled with Truth, Love and Sunshine.
Beautiful Serendipity
Finally, I am a huge fan of Serendipity — those magical moments in life, and in travel, that you cannot pre-plan.
Most of the people I interview are people I meet randomly and Serendipitously. Like Jake Rodenroth, a second-generation race car driver in Florida. Or Andriana (Andy) Fragola, a marine biologist and shark expert in Hawaii.
The more you watch, read, listen to, and engage with the amazing stories I discover and share, the more worldly, knowledgeable and well-rounded you can be and feel.
And, the more you will appreciate how amazing this country is. Our world is. And just how much we, as humans, have in common — throughout history and around the globe.
