About Me
- Name: the gypsy girl
- Location: San Francisco, Northern Cali
GYPSY: (noun) One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life. The first time I traveled alone I was 4. My mom pinned a note to my dress then put me on a plane from Atlanta to L.A. to visit my dad for the summer. That must have marked the beginning of my insatiable wanderlust because I can't seem to get enough of running away from home. In the mean time, I've spent my life between a career in the media and years in the hospitality industry. My independence has kept me single but that's a part of life when your first love is travel. I've been robbed in Australia and slept on a park bench in Amsterdam, but at the end of the day, I was on the road and that's where I'm most at home.

Wow...it seems like, well, yesterday that I started my countdown to Burning Man and as sure as the sun rises and sets...again and again, the time has come. I think I started at around 190 or so days, and today is the magical number 1 !!! It's crazy and scary and wonderful and exciting...everyone keeps sending me off with a "be safe" refrain, which is sweet of course, but after running around Europe alone for so long this should be a picnic. A whacky and wild picnic, but we must all remember...these are my people, my tribe, and surely this is my element. I have been a self-described "festivarian" for well over a decade and will likely continue that course throughout the rest of my life. I hope to have loads of photos, memories and new friendships by week's end, and of course, heaps of stories. So, that said, I will return next month, one year older and hopefully light years wiser...
