Like so many others, I started out living paycheck to paycheck, trying to make it on $5 an hour. After living with soul crushing credit card debt for nearly twenty years, I hit reset on my spending habits, my career and my dreams. Now, I work for myself, have financial freedom and freedom of time. On ALOR.blog, I'm sharing my journey including the changes, tips and tricks that got me where I am today. Join me as I embark on my next chapter, moving to Italy for a little 'Dolce Vita' with the love of my life, Paolo Ferraris.

Welcome to ALOR! I’m Brandy Shearer.

Born in Iowa, raised in Ohio, I found myself, and my husband Italian Photographer & Artist Paolo Ferraris in New York City.

After working for InStyle, HBO, Food Network and eventually becoming the Executive Producer of Discovery Digital Studios, I took a flying leap into the world of consulting in 2013.

As self-employed nomads, Paolo & I launched ALOR (the Art of Living on the Road) in 2014. As our lives evolved so too has ALOR.

In 2016 we set our sights on retiring early and moving to Italy as artists. By 2019 we attained financial freedom, and in April of 2020 we moved to Italy! We’d love to hear from you, let’s connect.
