I’m in love with Athens (and it wasn’t just the ouzo)

Did I find the world’s biggest mushroom in Amsterdam?

A selection of mushrooms being sold at a market stand

While wandering through Amsterdam, I stumbled across a market selling (what appears to be) every possible variety of mushroom.  But what really caught my eye was a giant mushroom being carefully sliced into sections.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Rebecca!
For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of adventure and rebelled against the idea that life should follow some sort of pre-determined path. That's why, at the age of 18, I moved half-way around the world from Canada to the UK in search of new experiences. Since then, I’ve lived in three countries and travelled to nearly 20. My goal is to experience as much of the world as I can and to lead a location independent lifestyle. This blog will document my journey and, hopefully, inspire you to achieve your own goals.
