I’ve put off writing about my first and only travel adventure this year, for numerous reasons.

I’ve been back from Indonesia for a little less than month now, and am finally just finding my footing and a little inspiration to write about it. This was the most challenging trip I’ve had to date, and I haven’t really known how to process the life challenges thrown my way until now.

Anytime I look at my photos from Victoria Falls, I get goosebumps, revisiting the feeling of vast unknowingness. This was my 2nd natural wonder of the world, and the first time I had my breath taken away by nature’s unpredictability.

I am so excited to share about my experience in Africa! I’ve had a handful of people reach out and ask about the organizations I worked with and what I was doing there, so feast your eyes! Let me start by expressing my mistakes. I am HUGE on doing research on animal organizations before volunteering […]
