I want YOU!

www.girlastray.com
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!

let my night be a dawn,
let me know how to lose myself . . . to find myself . . .

Karin March 3, 2016 Colombia19 Comments

The selva (jungle) at the foothill of the Andes is friendlier and kinder than the dark, wet, sweltering guts of Amazonas, or so they say. Mocoa, the capital of the Putumayo district, is surrounded by it and in it, you can find …
