All travelers have their very own unique and individual reason for why they travel. Mine happens to be for self discovery & reflection. I have used travel to break bad habits and let go of attachment to things that I felt like I was holding onto. It may not be the best way to respond to a hard situation, but when i’m having a hard time I go to far places for a little bit to evaluate how I truly feel about something without outside influence. Whenever I go anywhere I bring a few different journals. One for pressed plants, another for reflection, one for teachings, my dream journal and of course I have a digital notebook going in my phone notes with pictures and goofy occurrences throughout the days that I am away. I have a bad habit of losing things and breaking cellphones which led to losing what I had written and also led to my loved ones having no clue where in the world I was. After many years of this pattern, began the creation of this space. By creating Knotty Nomadic, I hope to integrate a few of these and have a singular place where I can reflect and a place where others can learn from my mistakes and be inspired to fulfill their dreams, whatever that may look like. Also provide an updated space so that anyone can have a general idea of where I am in the world. I’m ecstatic to share my human experience with you and I hope in time you feel safe in this space and will do the same with me.
Love & Light
