A little over a year ago, I quit my job, gave up my apartment, packed my life into a hiking pack and set off on a year-long adventure to research pole dancing around the world.

If you know me personally and have seen me since I got back, then you will have heard me give out a weak groan whenever someone asks if I’ve returned to the (pole) studio yet. I loved pole before I left. I was a fanatic. I was practising 4 – 6hrs a day, sometimes on top … Continue reading

Oh London, my newly-adopted-yet-short-lived-temporary-home. I love you to bits, but you are waay too expensive for this frugal traveler! I made London my base in September as I traveled Europe because here I had a place and close friends to come “home” to. Much like New York, London is a gargantuan city with lots to offer … Continue reading
So yesterday, I posted a photo on my person Facebook of me dancing Saturday night at a friend’s party. I got a few comments, like “did you run out of money?” and “do you enjoy this kind of job than be a noble nurse?” I like to say that I’m a pretty laid back person, … Continue reading
