ABOUT ME

I’m clumsy, allergic to everything and extremely prone to motion sickness, but after experiencing a mid-midlife crisis, I’ve decided to quit my job and travel across the globe. In other words, I’ll be ianployed.
I plan on travelling until all the funds I’ve set aside for this trip have been depleted. I’m hoping it’ll be about 8 months, but knowing me, it could be as short as one week. Who knows. If it’s the latter, sorry for all those who paid for one of my going away dinners/drinks.

I’ve lived a pretty structured life and generally prefer to have everything planned and organised, however, I’ve decided to take a different approach this trip. All I have arranged is a flight to Europe and accommodations for the first night. I’m hoping this will provide the flexibility to step off the beaten path so I can share stories of unique adventures and experiences.
