oh god stop

Oh, I have no idea if I’m fertile. I’ve never been pregnant, nor ever desired to be tested for my fertility as I don’t plan to have babies. If I am infertile, that’s sure been a huge waste of money on BC all these years (before the ACA.)

IF your overseas company gives you time off. I taught ESL in Korea, thinking I’d have grand travels in the meantime, but my company only gave me a whopping 5 days off a year, sick or for vacation. So, there’s that.

Yeah man. My mom AND my boyfriend’s mom are the same in the way they treat people in the service industry. It’s unbearable, and I’ve walked out of a restaurant before because of it.

Oh this is painful.

Oh man. I leave for Iceland in a week.

I have no periods. Multiple doctors have told me that can happen after like 10 years on birth control. So what happened to this woman is pretty much my worst nightmare because I have no monthly “you’re not pregnant” indicator.

Ugh my entire family worshiped the sun growing up and I refused to do the same. Mostly because I hate being hot and sweaty, but also because I love and respect my skin. They bullied me nonstop growing up about my comparative paleness. I hope they never get skin cancer, of course, but a part of me kind of wants to say…

I think the location in which you settle makes all the difference in how easy or difficult the transition is. I first started travelling to escape the death-trap of the Midwest, and kept traveling so I didn’t have to go back. When I longed for a little more stability, but not the death of every fiber in my being, I…

Not funny? You clearly have not seen “We Put a Go Pro on a Sparrow” then. Here ya go: http://www.clickhole.com/video/we-put-g…

I can get why some people are more attracted to certain cities than others. Ever since I visited London I’ve been entranced. But I almost despised Paris. It smelled like pee. Everywhere. And of all the major cities I’ve been to, I most thought I’d be stabbed to death in Paris.

Yeah, I’ve seen tours like that for pretty cheap. I just can’t do tours. I have to be on my own and able to control everything. Tours don’t feel like traveling to me. They feel like being guided.

It all depends on what’s important to you. Travel is everything to me. Without it, I’d wither and die. I did a month-long European trip traveling mostly by train and staying in hostels for less than $5,000, though I know I could have done it for much cheaper.

It’s easier than you’d think, but you have to be okay with sacrifices. You can’t travel in obscene comfort on a budget.

I saw her on a late night talk show once and was super intrigued, though I had heard her music before and wasn't that impressed. Then I saw her live and was so impressed I fell in love. Then I saw her perform with David Byrne and my head exploded.

Auuuugh. Yes. For as long as I've had to consider being employed, I've known I don't care about having a career. To me, a job is a job. If I don't hate it, then why not stick with it if it's making me money and allowing me to do the things I actually love, like hiking and eating at awesome restaurants and buying a…

Speaking of Kristen Wiig, I highly recommend The Skeleton Twins. That's all. Just needed to get that out there.

I need Whiplash to win in everything it was nominated for. All white dudes? Don't care— it was fucking incredible.

If it helps, one of the biggest reasons I moved to Korea to teach English (besides the exciting travel part) was because my family was falling apart and I couldn't stand it. So yes, I ran away, and every other foreigner I met seemed to be doing the exact same thing for one reason or another. And though I spent two…

If my life were to take a sudden turn, if my boyfriend and I of 6 years were to end it, I'd hike the PCT or I'd take a one-way trip to Peru and I would leave it all behind because it would be a great opportunity to finally do so. I travel anyway and I can't think of a better way to heal than being alone with nature—…
