I’ve read stories about people coming back home after long term travel abroad and it being difficult for them to readjust or find their place in the world. After having so many off the wall, unexpected, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences on a daily basis it can be a shock to the system to come back to mediocrity. I had planned to take a few months to regroup and think about all that I had accomplished and realized during my travels and how exactly to incorporate that in to my “new life”. However Continue reading

‘Spensive
So after a month of being back in the states I just have one thing to say…. “IT IS ‘SPENSIVE AS HECK TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES”.
Some new and extremely foolish person that I recently met insinuated that my reason for returning back to the states was probably because Continue reading
4 Continents, 12 Countries, 30 Cities…
Over the last few days I have thought long and hard about where I am at this point and what my next steps should be. I mentioned before that I wasn’t having “fun” anymore and who the heck wants to have this type of experience and not completely enjoy it?

I initially set a duration of 13 months to travel the world and the decision to Continue reading

The living is a bit too easy for my tastes. I actually love to feel like I’m in a foreign land engaging in uncommon activities and dealing with the inconveniences that come with being in a foreign country. Who comes all the way to Central America to only speak English, gossip about the neighbors cheating husband, and hang out with grumpy Americans? I might as well be Continue reading
Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems
Eight months of travel and I hadn’t yet had any of the major travel mishaps that most people fear. That was until two days ago when I got an email from my mom saying that one of my banks called the house to report Continue reading
Fearless Journey
Feeling like I’m on top of the world!
I believe in turning tragedy to triumph. Through this entire process I’ve never considered myself a victim…always a victor. Although I’ve mentioned it a few times on this blog I don’t always highlight the fact that I was molested. Not because I am ashamed but because I don’t want each and every one of my days consumed by my past. I do, however, plan to use what happened to me as a platform to help others. Continue reading
