Guest Bio

Bianca Rappaport is the founder of Wanderwell Club and a full-time nomad who has spent nearly a decade house and pet sitting across more than 20 countries on five continents. Since 2016, she has crafted a lifestyle that fuses financial freedom with meaningful travel—saving over $300,000 in rent, leveraging travel hacks for low-cost flights, and building a multi-six-figure investment portfolio. Remarkably, she reached Coast FI by age 34 without ever earning a six-figure salary.

Her approach combines intentional, slow travel with smart financial strategies, values-based spending, and a commitment to community. Whether she’s volunteering with locals or supporting small businesses, Bianca believes in giving back to the places she visits.

Through Wanderwell Club, Bianca empowers digital nomads and remote workers to build a sustainable lifestyle that balances exploration, financial independence, and positive social impact.
