Northwest Girl Big Wide World

The summer after college graduation, I took a 90-day, 5-continent, 10-country solo trip around the world sponsored by Student Universe. Follow this wild ride of unexpected friendships, unbelievable landscapes, and unforgettable experiences on my biggest adventure yet.
