On Parents and Chasing Dreams
The people we love - particularly parents - love us in their own way, even if not in the way we need them to. They are doing the best they can and they often mean us well, even if it seems sometimes like they are trying to deter us from our dreams. See, they can’t see...
What I Know For Sure After 8 Months of Solo Travel
The first 8 months of my solo travel journey, the lessons were many. Some were difficult to learn, others funny, and some just downright embarrassing. Nevertheless, I survived my first 8 months abroad traveling solo and came away with many lessons. Here are the ten things I know for sure now, having taken this journey.

I get lots of questions about specific destinations. How much should I budget? Is it safe? What do they eat? These guides will be cool easy-to-scan two-pagers that cover all the important suff.

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.
