Frolicking on white sand in a remote island. Trekking through mountain ridges in the tropics. Admiring the city skyline from your hotel room. Watching the sun rise above clouds. Tasting cuisine that's exotic and new to the palate. Don't you just love going places? Taking an unfamiliar path excites me most. What draws me to adventure traveling is the thrill of feeling a different breeze, smelling the scent of new surroundings, walking on foreign territory, seeing unusual sights, tasting exotic flavors, and immersing myself in an offbeat culture. If food is fuel to the body, then traveling is fuel to my mind. And soul. I chronicle my journey to the quirky corners of the world, finding adventures and misadventures along the way. I take my journey the BRATpacker way -- backpacking with a little bit of BRAttitude.
