It's happening again!

As many of you know, I am about to take off again....this time by myself (insert slightly terrified face emoji).

It's been a long time coming and everything (life, job, subletter) just finally lined up....so here I come! I have amazing friends that are meeting me along the way in various places, so there will be some familiar faces :)

I hope to post many pics and crazy stories along the way, follow me (click that blue follow button on the left) if you want email updates as soon as I post. I am leaving one week from today.

Itinerary below.....

Chicago --------> Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik  --------> London

Thanks to everyone who is supporting me during all of this, especially my friends who helped me be homeless for the past month!

And finally, we all know I'll be missing my best travel buddy and partner in crime on this trip...so here's a token jumping pic from earlier this year in Sri Lanka for all of you who will miss Katy as much as me!
