While I am currently tucked away by a fireplace in Colorado, and thoroughly enjoying it, I will soon be grabbing a cheap flight back to Texas to pick up my car and continue on my epic, near 21,000-mile road trip around America, by myself. And &#8230; all the parents just gasped. Yes, it&#8217;s true, I&#8217;m a 24-year-old gal who loves adventure, travel, the outdoors, random experiences, pondering the deeper things in life and meeting friendly strangers.<\/p>\n<p>Concerned individuals, before you write me off as immature and crazy, please be sure to read some of my upcoming posts about how to travel safely as a woman. I would say 99 percent of the people that I&#8217;ve told my tricks of the trade have been thoroughly impressed and agreed that I&#8217;m not <em>completely<\/em> crazy. My grandma is the other 1 percent; you can&#8217;t win&#8217;em all!<\/p>\n<p>Back in September, I started on my thoroughly planned road trip. I traveled for three months: meeting awesome strangers, &#8220;coincidentally&#8221; running into people I know thousands of miles from home at just the right time, seeing the majesty of creation, hiking along lake shores and wooded trails, getting a minor case of I think shingles (still not sure at this point) and seriously so much more. Throughout my travels, I had several of my newly-met friends ask me where they could go online to follow the rest of my adventure. While I do have a couple other blogs, <a href=\"http:\/\/piggypays.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">piggypays.com<\/a> and theworldsyearbook.com (a work in progress), neither one was really suitable for freely documenting all of my travel experiences.<\/p>\n<p>It became apparent that I needed a place to share my adventures and\u00a0odd life experiences; a place where I could detail the time that a grizzly bear sauntered right past my rolled-down passenger window, and when the Canadian border patrol decided to take my pepper spray and delete a video off my phone. Thus, <a href=\"http:\/\/bandanabow.com\/index.php\/bandanabow\/\" target=\"_blank\">BandanaBow<\/a> was born.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"73\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/index.php\/2016\/02\/03\/woman-seeking-adventure\/attachment\/2237\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2341,1560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 40D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1443301802&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bear by My Window\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-73 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Tetons Adventure\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bandanabow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2237-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> My place for\u00a0sharing adventures, experiences and thoughts on all aspects of life from a woman-in-her-20s perspective.
