MY STORY
Born in California, raised in Texas – I gotta say that I have the best of both worlds. Growing up, we lived in small towns where everyone knew your name. And while small towns have their charm, I always felt like something was missing.
I was the shy girl with glasses who walked the high school halls holding her 3 large AP textbooks in her arms because I refused to wear a bulky backpack that didn’t match all my outfits. I didn’t speak up in class because I was scared of being judged by my peers. Fast forward to after high school and this girl made her way out of that small town and into the big city where I have found not only my voice, but my style and my independence.
I began blogging as my confidence started growing. I wanted to share my experiences with the world and as a shopaholic, I figured a blog was the perfect excuse. I believe I can do all things, therefore this blog is a compilation of everything that I am and I wish to be.
A true Sagittarius, I live for the next adventure and dream of all the places I could go. I don’t stay put for long but try to see as much as I can while I’m there. Lately, my heart has craved the need for something new and I’ve realized my true passion in travel and adventure. You will see this flourish here on Small Town Runaway as I begin to expand on this desire.
Although I am no longer living in a big city, moving out was what I was missing to become the person I am today – I am a small town runaway.
