Living Life Authentically, Intuitively & Bravely

This isn't just about the countries I've been to (and I've been to many); it's about the inner journey, too. "A Broad Perspective," came about when I left my 'normal' life (nothing about my life has been 'normal') behind to travel the world full time and create travel content, and here we are 3 years later, still loving the alternative living and nomadic lifestyle!.  This blog and part of me is where I dive into the deep end of spirituality, metaphysics, and philosophy. From the vast expanse of the cosmos to the intricacies of astrology and numerology, we're exploring it all. I am a writer and poet, first. It's a passion and purpose I put aside while traveling, and I am longing to share more of it. This is a place where my diverse perspectives, philosophies, lessons, and reflections come together in attempts to navigate the inner landscapes of who we are. It’s these very questions that have propelled me forward to live the big, bold, courageous life that I have.
