Thanks for joining us on this journey! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a writer and travel essayist with a goal of "Rolling to 100" countries in my lifetime. For me, it's not about checklist tourism, but about deep, immersive travel and the life-changing lessons we can learn from it. In my spare time, I provide writing support to others through Rollerbag Goddess Global Communications.
