Expedition: RUNAWAY
I was born in LA, California and I grew up in Arizona till I was ten years old at which point my family packed up and moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina, where I came to love hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting, wakeboarding, and learning survival skills. I am most intrigued by not only all the beautiful places on this planet, but also all the amazing cultures and experiences they have to share with us if we will only take the time to stop, shut up, listen, and learn.
This is not your average travel blog, mostly because it isn’t just a travel blog! I have a great love of travel and adventure (thanks, grandma!) and an equally great hatred of the mainstream, go with the flow attitude that people my age tend to have. I want to find the things and places in this world, at home and abroad that helps us to ‘Runaway’ from the craziness that is our sad planet. Traveling is a big part of Expedition: Runaway, but when I can’t travel, I will share random stories and things I love and learn along the way because running away isn’t just going to different places, it is also finding the people, songs, and stories that keep us sane in this ever-changing world.
Mission Statement: Here at Expedition: Runaway the goal is to lead you on a path to new adventures; to learn, taste, and explore new things and places, and share with you ways to ‘Runaway’ to the things that challenge and inspire us to go against the flow and make our own trail into the unknown. Join me and whoever I meet along the way on this epic journey!
