About Me

My entire life I wanted to travel, to set my feet on different soil and learn about other cultures and people that existed outside the suburbia land of Kansas where I was born and raised. When I was 19, I finally got the chance to study abroad in Salamanca, Spain for three months and since then I have never looked back from traveling.  Year after year, my desire to learn from other languages, cultures, and people has grown and become a constant in who I am and what I believe. This blog is a story of some of my travels, advice for current or future backpackers (keyword: frugal travel), and an outlet for my passion for dancing, photography, and writing. Although I am not backpacking at this moment in my life, I still live my desire for international everything by working with International students at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and traveling in my free time.  I hope that my accumulation of knowledge is helpful to you and I encourage you to reach out or comment on any post! Happy travels my friends 🙂
