2020-08-14 By AlexaLeave a comment

Floating in the sunshine above an ocean of clouds

About This Site

On 8 March 2016 I left settled normalcy and embarked on a life on the move. Here on these electronic pages are recounted the challenges, joys, beauty, pain, adventures, love and ordinarinesses experienced on my journey within Eurasia and within myself as I live this itinerant life and train for running and climbing in the mountains.

This blog tells that story through photo galleries, prose poems, journal excerpts and narrative. Each post is dated for when it took place, so new posts will show up at the appropriate spot in the timeline, and as the months (and years) go by, the story will be filled in and fleshed out. Right now all my journals except the current one are in a place where I’m not, so when I get back to them (October, if all goes well), I’ll be able to start filling in more of the story from 2015 to 2019. I hope you enjoy exploring. I’d love to hear from you.

Ps. The header is randomised, so if you keep hitting refresh, you’ll see different photos from the places I’ve been. There are almost a hundred photos and I’m adding more all the time, so have fun!
