Hey fellow Travelers of the Universe!
I'm Eileen - an American expat based currently in London, UK.
Also currently I drink a shedload of wine and fall down a lot in yoga class.
My full-time gig is a lucky one; I'm able to wander the world as a freelance travel writer, sharing my stories of being a total hot mess. Losing passports, getting injured, embarrassing myself in front of world cultures, the usual.
Two years ago I decided to have my first panic attack before boarding a flight too. That reeeally did not help my cause or career. It's not even been close to easy, but I work on calming the #@%$& down every day and and happy to report the attacks are gone for now. What's replaced them is a new lease on life.
With it all though I've gained a deep understanding and excitement about the world around me. Keep you ears open and your eyes wide, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
Come chat with me about your own adventures, the world today, how to try to stay alive a bit longer (wellness right?) and maybe we can even trade some snobby yoga jargon and sit around smugly drinking green tea.
Have a cuppa, stay a while - glad to have you here with me!
Tomorrow I'm off to Thailand, which will be the perfect opportunity to share the real-time antics of a two-week trip. I aim to inspire everyone to work some travel into their lives - whether it's to Thailand or exploring their own hometown. Changing up your environment and interacting with human different than you can drastically alter your life for the better. Let do this!
To adventure and all things awesome,
Eileen

My Latest Article: How To Declutter
Pretty jazzed to be a part of this, thanks for the warm welcome! I am very fortuneate I was able to take a big passion of mine and turn it into a livelihood. I'm going to go dive into your article now - my apartment is a MESS, haha!
Yes, it is a great place to be and you are going to like it here!
Great to have you on board and I really look forward to seeing more of your posts (as well as the rest of our gang). Do we start tagging ukbloggers in our posts?
I have loads of questions, haha. Happy to tag #UKBloggers for sure if it'll help! Think I already posted too much today. Fail.
It won't help yet, but it might further down the road. Yes, try and limit to 4 posts a day, 20 up votes but go crazy with comments and replies. It's a great way to get to know more Steemains and also to get more followers
An experience that attracts friends ..
Upvoted! welcome to the platform, hope you do well and like it.
Nice to see so many travel-minded people joining, very interesting lifestyle.
Will keep an eye out for your post.
I traveled for four years and post about it now. for now back in Amsterdam untill i find my new adventure
That sounds wonderful! I really enjoyed Amsterdam, was there for only a short time. I blog but thought it could be fun to try a new platform - a fresh start somewhere! Will check out your stuff for sure, thanks for connecting :)
Amazing! I will live vicariously through you! I have 3 kids and don't travel much, but I thoroughly enjoy the experiences of others! I love that this platform can bring me that much closer to these places, and that I can see them through the eyes of the traveler! Good luck on here, you will do well!
Hey good on you though with all the kiddos! I might b at my home stretch with the full-time traveling, as little ones are getting more appealing to me partner and I (as is a real home base, haha!) Where's some dream places you'd like to visit, or have been to before? Maybe I've been there and I can share some fun snaps/stories next!
I would love to see Ireland or Iceland, or anywhere green and cold or wet haha. I am stuck in the desert!
I've been to both! Iceland is unreal in the winter.
