Hello! If you are looking for new content on this site there isn’t any, and that is because I moved! My new site is happyworldwanderer.wordpress.com. The site is under construction as of 11.13.17 but will soon be up and running. Thank you!

Welcome friends, family, fellow travelers, and really cool people I’ve never even met. I’m glad we’ve found each other. This lovely site you’ve landed on is my blog. Here I write about all sorts of neat stuff; usually travel related, sometimes on recent events, or just my thoughts every now and then.

If you are a returning reader, here are my most recent post(s):

Italy: The Best Gelato of my Life

Stories of Kindness: Friends on the Tokyo Metro

Processed with VSCO with c1 preset My name is Izabel, but most people call me Iz or Izzy. I’m 17 and since January 2016 I’ve been backpacking around the world with my really awesome family. Other than that, I’m a pretty average teenager. I usually spend my days writing, reading, learning, taking photos, hanging out with my sisters, making friends, and scrolling through text posts on Tumblr.

I have a fascination with the world and the cultures and people who inhabit it. You will often find me pouring over maps exploring far off cities and places and dreaming of the day my feet will finally reach them. And I really love food, especially Indian, but I’ll eat just about anything.

My dream is to keep traveling the world and fund my own exploration with English teaching jobs, writing gigs, or whatever else comes my way. (I freelance teach ESL and writing for kids, so if you are looking for a tutor I’m your girl: Contact/Hire Me ) If you want to read more about me, my family, and how we travel you can go to my about page or read my article in Travellist Magazine.
