My name is Izzy! You can call me Bird if you want to.

I have been into traveling/movement my whole life. my mom and I didn't get along and she bailed when I was twelve so I never really had much of a female figure in my life. My dad wasn't much better so books, movies, and tv basically raised me. The great thing about having few ties is that it's a premium set up for the adventurer's lifestyle! I tried college, hated it, and dropped out after two sememsters. I worked at a shit job and had the plan to save up whatever wasn't going to student loans. The plan was thrown out the window when I met a traveler who stayed at my place for a week. I fell in love with them and their free range of motion. I quit my job soon after my loans were paid off with two paychecks to live on. Easy peasy, since by that time I was homeless and sleepimg in the housekeeping closet at work. I also had gotten rid of almost all of my stuff. I never mentioned any of this to my family.

Thus, my adventuring days began November of 2014! I bombed down to Hollywood with a few friends and they dropped me off in the middle of San Fran. I just got back from a crazy month that included: protesting, communes, a threesome, bubble tea, train hoppimg, hitchhiking, intoxication before noon, sleepin on sidewalks, punching a guy in the throat, and taking care of a puppy. I met a lot of wonderful people, saw some really beautiful stuff, learned a lot more than I did at school and my life feels like it's only just begun.

So yeah, nice to meet you all!​

Cool and welcome to S.T.P and I agree I have learned more by traveling than I did in school. Be careful and safe out there.

I think it's really cool that your living a life of adventure, sounds like you've been having a good time.

Really hated it at GHC and got tired of being in the same area with the same sorta routine
Told my mom that I was going to woofing (world wide opportunities working on organic farms)

Awesome Intro Izzy! Sounds like you have your traveling plans in place - and looking forward to what you can do. STP has a huge amount of information for travelers - cool places to see, links to cool places to go, stuff to use or not use - it's here. Have fun and stay safe, sounds like you have it under control.

since your young keep in mind that college is over rated. but keep an eye on some type of skill/trade you can get into. if you are interested inone just goto the boss and tell him you'll work for min wage to learn the trade. also there is school free at Khanacadem.com online. Good luck my friend
