| Introduction | I'm a 32-year-old licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), recently of the Bay Area but now on my 2nd Mission as a Mental Health Officer with Medecins Sans Frontieres in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (North Kivu). I am a passionate citizen of the world who loves travelling and exploring new cultures and locales. When I am not travelling, I am thinking about it and dreaming of the next opportunity to go overseas. I am also an aspiring writer who someone how lost this childhood love somewhere along the way between 2nd grade and now. Having said all this, I hope to achieve blogging fame by using my humble domain to showcase my travel writing, my forays into fiction, and as always my every day thoughts on who I am, what I am I doing, WHY I am doing it, and how this might all tie into the world I live in. |
