Travel-writer. Adventure seeker. Risk Taker. Story teller. Info sharer.
Far too often we frame our actions and our thoughts.
That’s what’s led me to creating this page – solely dedicated to the raw diary entries I’ve written when I’ve traveled.
Enjoy!
I remember before leaving to go on my trip to India and speaking to a stranger – he expressed how much he loved being on transport while traveling. “You get to just sit and think like a child ~ with no phone, laptop, or other thing to distract you. It’s something you only do when [...]
