Years of Full-Time Travel 2020-2022
Where I Went, What I Learned, and Returning to Atlanta, GA
After the year 2020 and years of full-time travel from 2020-22, it feels surreal to be back in Atlanta, GA. When I decided to leave Atlanta, GA in 2020, I made a tentative travel plan that came out different. Although I didn't know exactly when I would return to the USA, I knew Atlanta, GA would be home again. In late 2021, I was surprised to start craving stability sooner than I thought.
When I first left at the end of 2020, I felt like I broke out of a cage. My first three months of 2021 included travel to Costa Rica. Costa Rica came to mind from hosting retreats in 2016.
Travel plans soon started to change due to destination desires, COVID restrictions, and civil unrest.
Fast forward 1.5 years later, 10 countries and 3 Continents
After the year 2020 and years of full-time travel from 2020-22, it feels surreal to be back in Atlanta.
My global travels are now at 35+ countries and 5 Continents and counting. After Costa Rica, I found myself exploring Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia, Panama, Portugal, Bulgaria and Turkey.
More than ever, I have become more present, adventurous, and flexible. 2010 - I feel like home is where I am. At the same time, I recognized where travels may pull me from purpose, priorities and people.
After years of full-time travel and adventure, I craved stability.
Late 2021, I found myself desiring a home base sooner than I thought. It wasn't time yet.
I am and always will be the Limitless Global Girl and Wonder Woman.
