26 Countries. 4 Homes.

I'm Gus.

And as you can probably tell...I'm a bit of a travel addict.

Since I left New York in 2018, I've made it a mission to learn more about the world and see more of it with my own eyes.

I've been to 26 countries, made friends across almost every continent, and have had more wild adventures than I can count.

Travel and relocating abroad have given me life lessons that have completely changed the way I see the world.

My life would've never turned out the same if I'd never stepped on that one-way Qatar Airways flight to Thailand years ago.

How It All Began

I wanted to get into writing from my early days as a digital nomad.

So when the pandemic kicked in and everyone was stuck indoors, I took a leap of faith and went for it. I got my master's in media psychology online, took a handful of writing classes, and finally stepped into the world of freelance writing.

My first real break was an internship with ecomadic, an online magazine focused on sustainable travel. It's since closed its doors, but that experience taught me how to transform a unique travel experience into something that inspires others to take action.

The Traveling Writer Era

Armed with new copywriting chops and a portfolio of clips, I launched Gus Writes Copy in 2021 while bouncing around East Asia, LATAM, and Europe.

Since then, I've collaborated on different content writing and copywriting projects with marketing agencies, travel companies, and other small businesses.

I also run Live Like A Nomad, my personal brand. I share tips, stories, and resources for anyone who's ready to rebuild their lives abroad.

Travel, hospitality, and relocation have always been bread and butter.

I know what it feels like to book a one-way ticket and start a new life halfway across the world...sometimes every other month. I also know how hard it can be to figure out travel logistics, visas, and all that other fun stuff.

This firsthand experience plus my love for writing is exactly what helps me craft a unique story for every brand I work with.

How I Work

I believe every brand has a story to tell. But how that story gets told comes down to marketing goals, audience, and what sets your brand apart.

From the moment we start working together, I want to know it all. What makes your audience tick. What your business's "personality" is actually like.

From there, I'll craft copy that actually gets people to book a flight, start their relocation process, or visit your coworking space. The type of writing that actually gets them reading.

While I've worked with clients across industries, I mainly work with:

  • Relocation companies & consultants

  • Travel tech and software companies

  • Travel agencies

  • Coworking and coliving spaces

  • Visa agents & immigration lawyers

I'd love to hear more about what your brand is all about. If you have a project in mind or want to brainstorm ideas, I'm here. Email me directly at hi@guswritescopy.com or fill out the online form below.
