Faced with the decision - Do I stay or do I go home, Lacey McLaughlin chose to stay. Living in Mexico during the height of COVID-19 Lacey would soon discover that choosing to ride out the worldwide pandemic from the beachside town of Playa del Carmen would be the best decision she could have ever made. There was not wide-spread panic nor a shortage of toilet paper, but rather plenty of tacos and beautiful beaches.Lacey McLaughlin is a digital nomad, choosing to operate her writing and brand strategy business from anywhere with a good internet connection and a beautiful view. Her love for traveling was spurred at a young age, traveling to places like Africa and South America with her youth group.
