Welcome to the first installment! I was going to begin this tomorrow but I’m looking forward to it too much. Such is the life of someone who has been spending way too much time alone for extended stretches (punctuated by extremely social snippets). 

For new visitors, please check out some posts from the past month to see where I’ve been traveling. 

Hmmmm…..what should come first? I very much want this to be interesting for others; sharing bite-sized (vegan) pieces of insight into my adventures.
