Journey of The Soul: One Woman's Quest for the Sacred & Magical

At 58, I released all my material possessions and set out to experience the world and all its wonders, seeking the joyous and the sacred, the historical and the mundane, broadening and expanding my heart and mind. This is the story of that journey.

It's an uncensored, unedited life log, like a daily journal, where I record everything: what I did, who I met, what I learned, and how I felt about it all.

Each post has a link to flip through all the photos at your leisure! I take hundreds, and only a tiny fraction gets shared elsewhere. You get the inside scoop and can see them all—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Or check out the video travel log and let the photos play for you with beautiful music.

With love from wherever I am,
Lauren
