Traveling was once just a distant dream for me, with my fear of heights and a childhood largely devoid of exploration beyond the familiar. However, as life's challenges and responsibilities piled up, I made a conscious effort to break free from the monotony and immerse myself in the diverse tapestry of the world. My adventures have not only broadened my horizons but have also been incredibly enriching.
Overcoming the fear of doing things on my own.
Then meeting other solo travelers along the way
And to this day maintaining some of those cross-country relationships.
Living a life reduced to the boundaries of my childhood neighborhood in Liemert park to walking the exploring the lake of AntÃgua nude is a bit of a culture shock but in a good way.
Discovering the land of Guatemala speaking limited Spanish was difficult but it did not limit my ability to absorb the beauty of their nation.
I have created deep love with people I made connections with not knowing if I'd ever see them again
Navigating illegal eviction to avoid homeless I had a lot going on that would've said it was the wrong time to travel but carving out time has been a source of solace and rejuvenation.
Traveling to Venezuela humbled me and shown me how living a simple life is so sweet, Traveling to Nigeria brought insight on what it means for people to work hard for what they want, and in the midst of it all I achieved a deeper understanding of who I am and how far I can go through traveling.
I am forever blessed and grateful for the richness that travel I have experienced thus far has brought into everyday life.
