Why, hello there!
Welcome to the chronicles of my travels. I’m an explorer and adventurer filled with wonder for the world, love for people, and a deep appreciation for time alone in nature. I started this as a photo blog - a way relive all the beautiful experiences that my eyes have quickly captured and brain has only stored glimpses of. But recently, as I’ve taken time to really reflect on some of these experiences, I’ve found myself wanting to get the thoughts down on paper, or screen, both for myself and to inspire others.
It’s since evolved into a compilation of my thoughts and experiences abroad, as well as into some travel guides to share information with fellow travelers, giving the information I wish I had myself when traveling!
It’s meant to be a blog written in my voice, traveling the way I do, and also imparting bits of useful pieces of information for you that I’ve gathered along the way and hope to help you plan your own travels with. Happy reading!
