Welcome to Life on My Backside! This nifty little blog is my attempt to encourage and inspire women of any age to strap on a backpack, grab their passport, and tackle the overwhelming and insanely rewarding task of exploring the globe. Of everything I've ever done (or attempted to do and failed miserably at), making the ill-advised decision to become a bona fied globetrotter has by far been the most rewarding experience in my life to date. Much to my worry wart of a mothers dismay, strapping on my R.E.I backpack with nothing more than the bare essentials (chonies, deodorant, flask, ect) has been a way to remind myself how independent and capable I am. Now I know we have all had times in our lives when shit hits the fan and we find ourselves in an ugly funk. But fear thee not, my fellow fabulous chicas! For those of you who have the desire to test your boundaries and color outside of the lines, I am here to give advice, share my own ridiculous experiences, answer your burning yet otherwise justifiable questions, and hopefully help give you the confidence to show the world (and yourself) what you are truly made of. Cheers!
