Hello Hello, 

My name is Shandra Back and I am a full-time journalism student at Boston University. And I’m also a whenever-I-have-time traveler. My first solo trip when I was 19 was unexpected and unplanned and the best thing I ever did. I got off the plane in Costa Rica and bussed over eight hours to a nudist hostel for my first ever work exchange. That whole bus ride I think I went through every stage of grief! Yet that first trip became the turning point of my life. Now that I’m in college, I find every gap of time to travel. I link it to my studies and my work because, to me, travel is at the core of everything that makes me feel alive.

You can hear more about my travel journey through the podcast and blog posts. And please always reach out! I’m more than happy to chat and make a new friend:)
