To quote myself, “there’s not a dam average day living life along the highway...” Nor it is not just every day you can attend a poetry-wine pairing, book signing, and hear the first public reading of “Diary of a Blonde Vagabond.” However, TOMORROW IS THAT DAY! I hope to see everyone at the Grape and Ale tomorrow night starting at 7pm. There will snacks, laughs and books for purchase. #whereintheworldisrita #thatblondevagabond #diaryofablondevagabond . . . . . #authorpreneur #girlswhotravel #travelblogger #wanderlust #authorsofinstagram #poetryporn #booksigning #poetrycommunity #poetryreading

‘Twas an afternoon well spent sharing tiny foods & big laughs with some people that I love OH so much! Dear family and friends, thank you for the (lifetime) of support of alllll my crazy, probably-had-a-hand-in-turning-some-hairs-grey-endeavors long enough for me to write a book about them and for putting together such a fun shindig to celebrate “Diary of a Blonde Vagabond.” Thanks for believing in this “starving artist” and helping me bring home the bacon. #whereintheworldisrita #thatblondevagabond #diaryofablondevagabond #pigsareflying
As a kid on a crusade to forget what’s my age again and again and again I have stayed in many youth hostels around the world. Story time: One night in Belize this past January everyone was hanging out, pregaming and I decided to take my Aunt’s advice. Aka “you don’t need alcohol to have fun.” I was having a jolly ole time just shooting the bull and bouncing between groups until I had the urge to dance, so I did... by myself. I knew people were watching but I didn’t care, as I leaped and pirouetted to “Counting Stars.” It felt amazing to have the confidence to take the old cliche “dance like no one’s watching” to heart. It wasn’t until days later I realized someone had picked up my phone I’d left on the table (okay some things will never change) and snapped some pictures for me. Later that night I visited the bar with everyone else long enough to dance to a few songs then decided to head back to the hostel where I found a group of peeps passing around a guitar taking turns churning out some classic sing a long and blues tunes. I was greeted by an exuberant, “hey ballerina girl!” This was when I realized I had been donned a new nick name. For the next two days everyone around the hostel referred to me as “ballerina girl” and thanked me for sharing my talents. I’m telling y’all these hubs of life are more than just a place to sleep. They will connect you with vibrant, open-minded, fun-loving, judgment-free souls. Without a doubt staying in hostels has given me life-long friends and helped me developed my confidence to be myself. . Check out the link in my bio for a Harry Potter themed post all about the do’s, don’ts, and what the expect about hostels... and as a bonus you are two hyperlinks away from a video of me dancing like an inflatable airman #whereintheworldisrita #thatblondevagabond . . . . . #girlswhotravel #backpacking #budgettravel #hostel #adventure #puravida #nomad #travelblogger #travel #traveltips #wanderlust

Days Since I Became a Vagabond:

969, and life is divine
... Never less, but could be more if I'm off where the buffalo and wifi roam.

Some Words I like that I didn’t Write

“Blessed are the vagrant, the lonely are the static ones. It’s every drifter’s confirmation this world is just ravishing”

-Astronautalis

“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”

― Ray Bradbury
