Wrote this on April 15th. Life puts you on a roller coaster even if you never waited in line for the ride. For the past 5 months, it felt as if the world was spinning out of control in all directions. All of a sudden I didn’t know what to do or who I was [...]

Wander Lost
Feeling blessed to have the opportunity to travel to different countries has only excited my untamed spirits for new adventures and journeys. Embracing their culture and lifestyle into my life has brought much joy and laugher into my heart.
