Hi! I’m Michelle and this is my story! I fell in love with traveling and travel photography when I was a kid. In my 20's I started solo backpacking. Later, I was trapped by corporate America and lost track of my passions. Now, in my 40's I've left the corporate life and have rekindled my adventurous spirit. I love backpacking, sound healing, yoga, fitness, and the amazing people I meet around the world! Please follow me for love and inspiration!
Latvia had been on my bucket list for awhile, so I saved a few days before wrapping up my Europe adventure (for now!), and flew to Riga. From interesting culture and fun people to amazing architecture and quiet beaches and bogs, I enjoyed the few days to their fullest. Come on in and see what I found!
This 3-Day trip to Tusheti, tackling one of the world's most dangerous roads, was the reason I extended my trip in Georgia and the best decision I made in the past 8 months of travel! Come on in to see lots of pictures and learn about the adventure!
I had another amazing day in Georgia with visits to the town of Borjomi, famous for it's healing mineral water, and the amazing cave monastery of Vardzia. Come on in and check it out. Also, stay tuned for the upcoming posts as my favorite adventure is yet to come!!! Gosh, Georgia was a good idea! 🙂
After Romania, I gave up on my Eurail pass and flew to Georgia! This turned out to be the best decision! Here is my first adventure to the Rainbow Mountains and a couple of interesting monasteries where I also met a new friend! Come on in to start the Georgia journey with me!
Hello again! Here is part 2 of the most amazing week on the magical island of Menorca. If you enjoyed part 1, you will love part 2! More amazing hikes, coastlines, funny stories, a bit of nudity, and a perfect ending with the first sunrise over Europe and a beautiful sunset over the harbor to wrap it all up! Enjoy!
Come on in to get a glimpse of the magic of Menorca where I reconnected with my friend Marga I met in Lisbon. So many fun times hiking, exploring the ruins, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, and enjoying the quaint little streets. I can't believe all of the hidden treasures on this little, fairly unknown island off the coast of Spain! Yes, it's Menorca, not Mallorca!
Join me for my first few days in Porto where I took a walking tour, enjoyed the sunset, tried a Francesinha, did my own crazy long walking tour, tasted some port wine, and walked some more! So much to see, so little time!
Finally I found a place to settle for a month and I'm loving it! Welcome to Almoçageme, Portugal, where you will see beautiful coastlines, go on amazing hikes, and visit some truly magical sites...this is only the beginning! C'mon in and see what's happening!
