| Introduction | I’m a non-itinerant feminist mochilera trying to unpack and understand the gendered construction of women’s travel while I work through my own wanderlust. This blog is primarily a place for me to analyze and explore women’s travel narratives, but also includes reading suggestions, my own experiences, and anything and everything that relates to my love for travel from my own feminist perspective. End goal – create a space where feminist travelers can have a dialogue about what it means to be the woman that travels alone, or with her children, or to those places she’s not “suppose” to go. |
| Interests | Interests include #Feminism, #Activism, #Writing, #Travel, #CulturalExchange, #BingeReading, & #Latenightmovies "Visionary feminism is a wise and loving politic. The soul of our politics is the commitment to ending domination. Love can never take root in a relationship based on domination and coercion." - bell hooks |

You can punch a hole in an apple using a straw. How do you think that makes your milkshake feel?
He'd be on the roller coaster with me trying not to puke the candy apples we scarfed before getting on the ride.
