Globalroamink’s Weblog

I’m so excited! Global Roam ink is mentioned and linked on The Huffington Post!

I wrote a travel-themed essay and submitted it for publication through a networking group I’m a part of called Ladies Who Launch.

I submitted the essay about a month ago and had no idea whether it would be chosen or not. I was told to “wait and see.”

But it was chosen! I’m so excited to see my byline and my author credit citing Global Roam ink on such a well-read and well-regarded site!

The essay is called “My Travel, My God.”

I’ll tempt you with an excerpt below, but of course, I think you should all go and read the whole thing!

I like to travel close to the ground. I stay in budget hotels and carry my clothes on my back. I avoid package tours, preferring to map my own path. Yes, I’ve gotten lost. I’ve been frustrated to tears. I’ll even admit to being scared. But I don’t wander the globe to be comfy and snug. I travel to know I’m alive.

Rarely do I feel more alive than when I travel. At home, it’s so easy to fall into a rut, to drive the same roads every day and eat the same dish from the same Chinese joint every week. Frankly, after a while, home can get kind of boring. Routine does not stimulate my brain in the ways that travel can.
