What started as a ‘gap year’ after graduating college in 2019 became an indefinitely permanent global adventure. Some may call it procrastination, or say that I’m running away from responsibility. 

I say just the opposite. I’m heading in exactly the right direction: towards adventure and discovery, towards growth and learning, towards a world that too many people have seen too little of.

Are you coming, or what? Get in on the adventure by subscribing below for best travel, life, and health hacks.
