Welcome to the blog
Welcome to my deep thoughts, life updates and most of all my travel updates. I've always found journaling as a relaxing thing for me to do, especially during travels so since my first long trip (4 months) at the age of 21 I started a blog to keep my family and friends posted about what was happing and where I was (instagram just wasn't a thing back then). Still now with instagram constantly being updated I like the more unedited and raw thoughts and pictures I can share here as well. Join in to read more about the days around the globe and all pictures you'll see will be a mix from the rawest and unedited from the phone to the fully professional ones.
