Travel, Dream Chasing & Living On Purpose
Welcome!
I’m Anna. It seems you’ve stumbled upon my little spot here in the webisphere. This is where I talk travel, dream chasing, and living our best lives. (Yes, I said our, because we’re in this together now.)
You don’t need to go crazy and quit your 9 to 5 to travel full time like I did (or maybe you do. If that’s the case I won’t judge). But if there’s a dream you’re scared of chasing, or a purpose you’re nervous about stepping into I have news for you. It can be done! I am living proof.

Dear Anna [Jan 2, 2018]
When I originally mentioned on Instagram that I write myself letters all the time and open them later at a set date (kind of like a time capsule with wishes of sorts) I got some questions about what to include in such a letter. As nervous as this oversharing makes me...

This is probably the best place to catch me as I try to post regularly and I’m super responsive to comments and DMs. Also, I like to think I drop gems in my captions. You be the judge.
