Hi, I’m Tara! A cliche, thirty-something year old who quit my job to travel the world. Who knows how far I’ll get before I have to run back home for money and shelter, but for now, I’m just living the dream!

 

I was just 21 years old when I boarded my first international flight. I had no idea, that I was about to be infected by the travel bug, and my obsession with wanderlust was about to begin.

 

Taravel was created from the persistent question of, “what are you doing now?” Instead of constantly answering texts and emails, I decided to let people follow my adventures through this blog! Thanks for sharing my journey!
