This is how it all started…

I was never the girl who had a clear idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up. Actually, I was pretty much the opposite. The knowing that one day I would be expected to wake up and choose what I was definitively going to do or be for the rest of my life was horrifying to me.

When I graduated high school in May of 2020, as you can probably guess, absolutely nothing went to plan. Instead of enjoying my summer moving to university in the fall, I was in quarantine. What at the time felt like a completely life ruining event, actually ended up being a huge blessing for me. I took the time to sit and reevaluate. My priorities, my friendships, what I was spending my time doing, and who I was doing it with. I had never had so much time to just sit and ask myself what I want to create out of this life I’ve been given. Since then I have come to realize I don’t have to be or do any just one thing. I can choose, change my mind, then choose again and again, and again.

This is a digital diary of sorts. Covid changed my life path forever, and shortly after the pandemic in 2023 I went on my first 3 month long solo backpacking trip. I don’t know exactly what’s next, but join me on my journey while I figure it out. My hope is that I can share my lessons learned, advice, stories, epiphanies, and setbacks for anyone else who has felt the itch to not want to commit to one thing in this life. For anyone who has wanted more. To experience more, explore more, love more, try more, see more. Welcome.
