ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Welcome Wanderers I am an avid traveller who enjoys both budget and occasionally luxury travel depending on the destination and mood at the time. I have been traveling for 7 years and gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience when it comes to traveling. I have traveled to 25 countries with friends , girlfriends and now currently exploring the world with my partner. I enjoy planning all the adventures ,and I am known amongst my friends to be the person to find amazing stays for any destination whether it's hotel or airbnb. I have found traveling to be a healing and life changing experience. I do not think I would be the person that I am right now if I did not venture into the world to experience different cultures and places. I am always advocating for people to travel and explore the world. I found myself on my travels even though I did not know I was lost at the time. I have curated a number of Travel Guides on Thatch on a few of my adventures and also offer creating itineraries. Remember , not all who wander are lost. xoxo Risai Wanders
