ABOUT ME
Believe it or not, Ninja is my real name...my parents aren't hippies just strange I guess. I'm a career student with a nomadic tendency...it's in my blood. I'm usually game for just about anything because I enjoy new experiences because whether the outcome is good or bad you can always learn something from it. I enjoy nice nights out at a local bar or pub. I'm a museum goer and an outdoorsy type of person; I like seeing the local sites and hiking around until my feet can't take it anymore. I think it makes me a well-rounded person ;)
Back in 2011, I ran away from life and traveled the world for about 3 years. But I did come away with the best souvenir of the journey! In 2014, I married a wonderful travel savvy man I met while on my way to Antarctica! My HUSBAND, Mile, is technically a non-CSer (doesn't have his own account, but supportive) originally from Macedonia, but now that we are settled, we are very happy to host in our home.
In December 2016, I finally graduated with my Bachelor's in Marketing, after 12 years, 6 universities, 3 academic major changes, and many life detours. As of September 2017, I finally reached my 100th country! Many more yet to go...
Generally, in my free time I keep myself occupied with destination research and traveling daydreams. Other then that just working full-time to save up for more adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
Sempre tem jeito - A Portuguese saying meaning "There is always a way".
