HI! I’M KIM.
I quit my job, packed up all of my things, and said goodbye to my dog. I’ll be traveling the next 5 months in search of places, people and experiences to get me outside of my comfort zone and learn about the world around me.
I’m looking for good company, great food, dive bars, beautiful landscapes, new friends, bookstores, awkward experiences, and to challenge myself to see what I’m capable of.
If you’re looking for local tips, this probably isn’t the best place. This is less of a ‘helpful travel tips’ blog and more of a ‘semi-coherent rambling while I fumble my way across the world’ blog.
