Hello and welcome to BrunetteTraveler! I’m so glad you’ve stumbled across my page. Join me on my journey as I blog about my life and travel adventures around the world.
I like to think I’m a chic and sophisticated brunette traveler who is most definitely a City lover + Bacardi connoisseur + Sun worshiper + Aspiring writer.
I live my life by the simple philosophy: “travel more and worry less”. Before I was a seasoned traveler, I stressed about EVERYTHING. But after a year of studying abroad and some city breaks around Europe, I learned that life simply does not EVER go according to plan. And you just have to deal with it. I realized that in order to live a happy (stress-free) life, I should relax my over the top organizational tendencies and become more easy-going. (After all, it was only me that was setting these impossible expectations and probably annoying everyone around me.) Immediately I noticed a difference in my happiness because I no longer felt like I had to be in total control of everything. Because of this I was able to enjoy the rest of my time spent abroad in a blur of fun and spontaneous trips.
Traveling has taught me to “worry less” and now I take life one day at a time and just go with the flow. 🙂
I enjoy the excitement of traveling: exploring new places; trying new things and tasting different foods. From the start of a trip setting out for the airport, to coming home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes and souvenirs, the satisfaction cannot be rivaled. Going “somewhere else” teaches you about another culture, but it also allows you to learn about yourself.
So as you can probably tell, I have a serious case of wanderlust. The word “wander” is so accurate because I never make an itinerary for roaming around a new city. It’s impossible to tell what the weather will be like, or if you’ll get hungry and need to stop for a snack, or if your feet hurt from walking and you need to sit down and rest, or if you get lost and wind up in a different place than the itinerary called for… It’s much better to explore a new place by wandering around it to find the hidden gems off the beaten trail.
I’ve already been to Ireland, U.S., England, Germany, France and Canada but my travel bucket list is ENDLESS. I’m setting out for a big adventure to see the rest of the world and send my greetings from lots of “somewhere else’s”!
