Hey, I’m Savvy (Savannah)—founder of Savvy’s Travel Bug, invisible illness traveler, storyteller, and social media creative.

I’ve been traveling the world for over 10 years, and in that time, I’ve been diagnosed with two chronic illnesses: Endometriosis and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). As I’ve gotten older, my chronic conditions have gotten louder, but so has my passion for travel. Instead of letting my health hold me back every time I boarded a plane, I learned to travel smarter, not harder—and created this space to help others do the same.

Savvy’s Travel Bug is a wellness-focused travel blog designed for travelers living with chronic illness. Here, you’ll find realistic itineraries, energy-saving hacks, accessible travel tips, and a supportive community that believes you can explore the world on your own terms.

Whether you’re planning your first trip or trying to make travel feel possible again—welcome! You’re part of the family now.
