They call me Joss. A mid-20s gal from California, seasoned solo backpacker, and instinctually curious about almost anything. My life motto: Need not fear the unknown, which equates to being open minded, inquisitive, and bold in all ways. Here we have a world that divides us by borders, but human kind knows that’s just a facade to create barriers, when in fact we’re all just equal particles of life.
