The Bumpy Road to an Unforgettable Winter. Top Story - July 2019.
Since moving to Canada, and traveling around in general, I’ve had a lot of people contact me asking how I went about getting to the places I have, and applauding my courage to do so, which I find so bizarre, because it is something everyone can do, yet so many don’t. Because of this, I wanted to share my story on how I got to this beautiful country, and hopefully it will motivate more people to leave their comfort zones, see opportunities where they might not, and explore. Firstly, I want to warn you, it may not be a carefree ride, you may encounter bumps and turns in ways you never thought imaginable, but a part of growing and traveling is taking everything as it comes, and always knowing that it will work out for the best.

Coming "Home". Top Story - July 2019.
I have always been told that home is a place. It's where you learned how to walk, where your parents live, where you have memories of family game nights, etc. When you become an adult, and the world becomes a thousand times bigger, people tend to try and keep you boxed in. I've had multiple people tell me that travel is fun and all—but I'll end up back home someday.

A Look at the World's Tourism Sector—And How Everyone Is Faring!
Many countries now feel the need to invest in tourism, because of the income earned for the economy. Having invested less than this amount in just one year, several countries recovered to eight million dollars. Some countries that are not noticeable in the world today, are considered one of the most important tourist centers in the world. The thing is, how did they do it? If a country chooses an ideal strategy, explores all tourist centers, preserves and strengthens nature, accepts new attractive and aggressive actions, and restores confidence, it will promote recovery. This way, the roads are packed for an annual increase in national income. After all, many people make more money to burn plane tickets.

Beginning a Life of Full Time Travel
Hey, you all—what is up? I know that I have not talked about my personal life a lot lately, but I thought that I would dive right in and share what is going on. Everyone who knows me well enough, knows that I love traveling SO MUCH. I literally could do it nearly every single day if I could, and I would be the happiest woman alive. Which brings me to today’s article topic—traveling full time. So how will I do that? First, I have it set up that I will purchase either a fully loaded RV, or Van transformed into a house, and start traveling all across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I know I am crazy, right. Well, you only live once, and I want to spend it doing what I feel I am called to do, while still pursuing my passions. I love meeting new people, and experiencing other cultures, so I thought, why not bring my home on the road? I want to start in the western side of the globe first, and then move worldwide and travel.

The Ghost at the Crossroads
6:00 AM. Winter in rural China. I wake up in darkness, alone, in an unheated dormitory room, boil water for tea in my contraband kettle. Throw on my heavy winter coat, scarf, gloves, two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks. Stumble downstairs to the dining room, where watery rice porridge and boiled eggs steam from their bowls. I steal an extra egg (only one per person allowed), I eat standing up, leaning against the window. A red sunrise is quickly overtaken by fog, as it had been every day this winter. I toss out my eggshells, and head outside where the dogs huddle in their houses.
