I’M ROSE…

“I quit my job, sold all my belongings, and left home to wander freely around the world from place to place alone with no plan and no job.”

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon (the City of Roses), I am a foodie who loves traveling.

I’ve always wanted to move away somewhere, and for many years I’ve been drawn to living an unconventional life: a life without kids, traveling the world until I’m old, exploring places less-traveled, a life of adventure.

After over a decade of daydreaming and a nagging from within, I finally made my dreams a reality right after my 30th birthday. I quit my job, sold all my belongings, and left home to wander freely around the world from place to place alone with no plan and no job.

Now I’m literally living the dream.

Follow along my journey as I realize my dreams and navigate my new life as a vagabond. I’m excited to share my adventures (and all things travel + food) with you!
