Tip from a rambling renegade: there is NEVER going to be the perfect time to break out of the comfort zone. You can prep, plan, & prepare until pigs fly or Along Comes Polly, but ultimately growth takes fear. Rather than let fear stop you, let it drive you. . Take it from me, when staying on the edge, literal or metaphoric, it’s scary as hell to look into the great unknown, but all you have to do is take the first step. The personal growth, greater confidence, and the rush of elation to say, “I did it” are the spoils to be gained from taking a risk. Don’t let the comfort zone keep you from quitting that soul-crushing job, or travel to a new country, or start that business that is going to revolutionize the world, or sharing your art, or simply whatever. . In January I met Brian Ondrako, the host of @justgetstartedpodcast Brian and I quickly realized we share many of the same philosophies in life. Check out the latest episode of Just Get Started Podcast to hear us talk and gain some insight about, “Diary of a Blonde Vagabond.” @brianondrako #whereintheworldisrita #thatblondevagabond . . . . . #selfpublished #poetrycommunity #diaryofablondevagabond #justgetstartedpodcast #adventure #girlswhotravel #travel

Hey guys, teeter-tottering on the brink of going to South East Asia!? Well allow me to be your guide to avoid some lows and just ride the high. I have written a practical guide on how to prepare and what to expect when backpacking through this region. It’s entitled, “South East Asia Crash Course.”* Not too worry, it is still jam-packed with all the puns and self-mockery y’all love just in easier to follow bullet point form. Check out the link in my bio to being the journey #thatblondevagabond #whereintheworldisrita . *No crashes occurred during the taking of any of this media . . . . . #southeastasia #girlswhotravel #backpacking #adventure #travel #blogger #puravida

Thanks for helping make a girl’s dream come true. #diaryofablondvagabond . . . . #whereintheworldisrita #thatblondevagabond #selfpublished #topten #bestseller

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
