ABOUT

Hi, I’m Amanda, recovering attorney, novice surfer, wannabe climber, long-time traveler, yogi, part-time hiker, and this year I’m living life on leave.

After eight years of grinding out 70/80 + hour weeks as an attorney at a big law firm, I left.

For how long? Well, that’s still TBD, but for the next year at least I’m taking a sabbatical of sorts—a break, a change from my normal career and routine—to focus on living life on my own terms and measuring it in something more than six-minute increments. (For those lucky enough to be unaware, this is how attorneys bill time).

This blog is about my travels, experiences, and endless pursuit of the perfect pop-up, more mountains to climb, a little bit of zen, and the best boho-style pants I can find in Princess my very purple, very off-road worthy Jeep, or however else I can figure out how to get there.

Thanks for coming along for the ride. Looking forward to seeing what the journey holds with you.

Current Location

Seville, Spain
