Flamenco in Madrid, Spain

Val around the web.

These past six months or so I’ve been all over the web, so here’s a little recap of some of the articles, etc. I’ve written or appeared in!

 

1. I was a co-star in the intro video for Meet, Plan, Go! this year! I attended the event last year and it was a great kickstart to planning my career break. This video was filmed about 3 weeks before I took off for Europe!

 

2. Speaking of Meet, Plan, Go, I also wrote an article for them a couple of weeks before I left about how scared I was to be leaving on my ’round the world trip. Speaking of that, I should probably write a follow up for them…

 

3. I was recently interviewed about my trusty backpack for Her Packing List!


 

4. This summer I wrote an article on the 15 of the Weirdest Roadside Attractions in America for Boots n All.

 

5. I also did a guest blog this summer on road tripping and photography for DMO Galleries.

 

6. Since I’ve been traveling and meeting some other travel bloggers, I got some mentions here and there, check out these blog posts that gave me a shout out!

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
