Tell us about yourself and your work:
I'm an English teacher but more than that, I try to teach kids that they're important, that it's okay to mistakes and that it's okay to be different. The past 3 years - through my blog, social media and personal connections - I try to share with women that it's okay to start over, that it's okay to not know what you're doing and that it's okay to live outside the box. But mostly my 'work' is to figure out who I am outside of my 'roles', what makes me happy and what is my 'path.'
In your own words, what does it mean to “wander well”?
I think wandering well means you learn about and from every place that you meet. I try to wander with an open mind and heart. Wandering well means respecting the culture, traditions and environments of the places that you travel through. And recently for me, wandering well has also meant accepting that not all places that I wander are places that I will understand or embrace, and that is okay.
Anything else you’d like to share with the community?
When you embrace the nomad life or travel in general, there are so many 'lanes' or archetypes. I struggled to figure out where I 'fit' - I'm a budget traveler who does not enjoy hostels. I'm a nomad but definitely not 'digital.' I will always walk instead of Uber but I will also buy a cappuccino almost every day. I love to hike but I also love bookstores and museums. I've finally accepted that I check lots of boxes and I would love for others to not worry about what type of traveler they are. You don't need to be a certain type or find your 'niche.'
