About me

I’m attempting to adventure peacefully, to travel and live with intention and sustainability—a slow, minimalist, GF vegan, and mindful journey. For a peaceful climate. | omventure.com

Why did you join the community?

For connection ... with those traveling and living similarly.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Sweden

Where do you dream of traveling to?

Everywhere

What was your first travel job?

I was a seven-year-old child, traveling frugally for a year, visiting every historical site possible. My job was to embrace the adventure and learn. I'm so grateful for my educator father, who had the courage to plan and present this with awe and excitement. The hardest part was leaving our pets temporarily (for the year) with our beloved grandmotherly neighbor. It all still makes me smile and cry.

What do you want to learn more about?

Everything

Three words that describe why we should travel?

It is so educational ... in ways nothing else can match.

  • So wonderful! It looks like eCornell has a course... https://ecornell.cornell.edu/courses/hospitality-and-foodservice-management/sustainable-tourism-destination-management/

  • I'm loving Squarespace. They've made so many changes/improvements, that I can't imagine using anything else now. 🙏🏼

  • I love hearing about this! I journal via my blog posts on my website (like the old days, before we knew about SEO, when we visited each other's websites daily). I'm convinced all will gravitate back to websites for these things. =)

  • I think there is a pretty big movement around this, especially since Seaspiracy came out. I highly recommend watching it, if you can. It's incredible. https://www.seaspiracy.org/

  • I try to stick to a journal-style of sharing, detailing how I'm traveling sustainably, the values and resources that assist, and how it all goes, in hopes that others will see that they can do it, too. It would be great to hear other suggestions! 🙏🏼
