I’m a part time traveler, full time badass! But seriously, I travel as much as I can. I work in a full time desk job, and I’d be lying if I said I loved every minute of it! Let’s be honest, it’s a big world out there with so much to discover! And none of it is going to be experienced behind a desk with my face glued to a computer. So I make every second of my vacation time count! I do this by taking the road less traveled. When I adventure somewhere I like to discover the hidden gems. Those places that aren’t as often visited by tourists, but just as amazing as the other tourist destinations. Sometimes these locations are difficult to get to, and require a little bit of willpower, or know-how (often gathered by talking to locals). When I visit somewhere new I make a point to get to know the locals, eat authentic food, and especially learn some of the language!

There are hidden gems in this world, and to find them you have to talk to the people who know where to find them! Which is definitely a step outside of my comfort zone. I’m a shy girl… I avoid the awkwardness of having to introduce myself and make new friends. But I’ve discovered that nothing amazing is going to happen by staying where it’s comfortable.
