Restlessness is a disease and I was infected.

The cure: Travel. The goal: Growth and Prosperity.

I’m Alexandra and this is the story of how I’ll meander my way from adolescence to adulthood.

After I losing a job a few years ago, I decided to base every action moving forward on what inspires me.  At the time that meant moving back to Italy since I could no longer let my life as a working adult hold me back.  My new found flexibility and take on life motivated me to find a gig teaching english in the Marche region of eastern Italy. When I returned, I stretched that momentum to it’s limits by turning a road trip across the US into a spontaneous move to San Francisco.

There are some days when I wonder what the hell I’m doing across the country away from all my friends and family. But most days, I thank the powers that be that I was and still am able to make a life for myself in a excitingly different, prosperous, new city as I continue to fuel my love for travel with a trip here and there.

I hope that with each post, I’m not just documenting a travel experience, but a step towards self – discovery. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
