Background:
B.A. in English, minor in Journalism
Have traveled throughout Europe and taught in Asia for three years
In college, I almost died in a rock-climbing accident. It’s a gripping tale, worth your time. I wrote about it here.
Despite being known as “the girl who had the rock-climbing accident,” my life was far more affected by my time in Asia than by the accident. I started this blog to share that journey (and other tidbits along the way).

I like one of your favorite quotes: Not all those who wander are lost.
Kahlil Gibran says,”Build of your imaginings a bower in the wilderness ere you build a house within the city walls. For even as you have home-comings in your twilight, so has the wanderer in you, the ever distant and alone.”
What about your home-comings?
Just love your blog. :) Best wishes to you. Stay well !
Thank you! That means so much. I no longer feel at home in just one place. Travel and thought have made me restless, a wanderer. I like the quote from Kahlil Gibran. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
That’s a great motto, Jess! I love it. It’s quite similar to mine.
