I want YOU!

Yep, that´s right. Now that you are here, I want you to get involved and come back to read more! But first, I want you to get to know me better. I am a hitchhiker, language teacher, aspiring travel writer, occasional nudist, socially awkward urbex devotee, dharma bum, plastic bag hater, FTB fan, dadaist no-plan traveler, recovered grammar nazi, Adichie admirer, fatass, I mean, badass hiker, post-colonialist by day, feminist by night, stupid enough to be fearless and fearless enough to write all about it. I also wish I was a rich bitch, but I have no money, so only the second part applies. I am here to show you that you too can TAKE THE LEAP AND TRAVEL. Click my face to find out more!
