The Wild midWest

Some people backpack the globe to find themselves. I moved to Wisconsin.


Ask me anything  


This picture includes 1 Aussie, 1 Norweigan, and 4 Americans….only one of whom I knew before this night. We played a drinking game with three languages….Norwegian, English, and Arabic, then walked home at 4 am from Taksim to Sultanahmet, at basically the opposite ends of the city and across the Bosporus strait. If the rest of the trip wasn’t a humbling experience, sitting at the foot of the new mosque, with 7 new friends, in a country farther from home that I ever imagined I’d realistically go definitely was. It was that moment of clarity when I realized just how fantastic the traveler’s lifestyle is; and why its worth the time, the money, and the potential food poisoning. and yes. I did get food poisoning.
