I’m Just A Girl In The World
19Jul2009 Filed under: Travel Author: poweredbytofu
I’m the “Lost Girl of the Week” over at The Lost Girls! They’re three New Yorkers who did an RTW trip in 2007, and I started reading their blog when I was researching other twenty-somethings who had taken career breaks to travel. It was a quite a relief to find other globetrotting ladies!
So if you’re visiting from The Lost Girls “Welcome!” — and here are a few of my most popular travel posts that you might enjoy:

- You Had Me At Hello Kitty
- Eating Tarantulas In Phnom Penh
- 10 Reasons to Visit Greece – Opa!
- 10 Things That Make Me Happy {about Morocco}
And if you haven’t checked out The Lost Girls yet, go show them some love and read my Eastern Europe dispatches from the road!

Hey remember that other time the economy tanked and I spent almost a year looking for a new job? Hey remember that time I made banana and Nutella crepes for breakfast?I probably blogged about it yeah?
