About Janet

In short? I’m a 26 year old, happy-go-lucky intrepid traveller, with no idea what I want to do with my life except to keep on travelling and hopefully do some good along the way. :)

My life so far…
Spent 6 amazing years in boarding school where I became the independent,open-minded person I am today and made some life long friends.Went through a stage when I did a lot of sailing…sailed from Ireland to Liverpool, Amsterdam and even Gdansk in Poland! Also spent 4 months in a school in Laval, France to improve my french when I was 15. That summer I volunteered in an Orphanage in Minsk,Belarus which I absolutely LOVED. This really shaped what the next 5 years of my life would be like.

Upon leaving school I spent a year volunteering in a school in South Africa teaching Business and Economics. Went on to study European Business and French for 1 year but not before a stint working in a crazy backpackers hostel in beautiful Paris. Then set off to Kenya with 2 college friends where we volunteered in a school, had some random trips hitchhiking around Kenya, Uganda and Sudan.

Went back to college…but transferred to do a Degree in Journalism. Spent half the summer teaching english then decided last-minute to fly to Ethiopia to join my friend from Uganda. After a month made my way to Kenya and travelled with another school friend.

Then I joined Couchsurfing! Decided to stay put in Dublin to live in a CS house and hosted over 100 people in 2 months…let the travelling come to me so to speak! Won a travel scholarship with EIL so traveled to Germany for 3 weeks to participate in Eurocamp 2008. Back to college, followed by an writing internship with a travel magazine in Canada the next summer.

I graduated 2 years ago and went on a huge adventure working my way around Australia, New Zealand and South Korea (with shorter trips to The Philippines and Taiwan). I returned to IRELAND (I’m from Cork, like) and started a Masters in Humanitarian Action last September. Im now doing Erasmus Mundus so am living in the Netherlands for 5 months while finishing up my classes and trying to think of a decent thesis topic!

Learning loads, smiling loads, making loads more amazing friends. I see life as one big adventure, so come join me and let’s have some fun!

      Okay, so its just random luck that i locked on to journlist janet. Do these things go away? Granted, she is a wealth of knowledge of what it is like to be travelling around the world on a stipend visa with hotels and yachts gallore, but what i am really interested in is where the cheapest place to sleep is and how increibly drunk we can get out of five of whatever currency we’re in. And before you say shit, i spent the last three yeare of my life ensuring rural west AFRICAN communities had the resources and commodities to survive day to day.

        Hey Jason….Are you asking me a question or simply making a statement?! That’s great that you spent the last 3 years working with west African communities, very admirable. I hope that some day soon I can spend that much time in Africa, but have to save up first so I have enough money to survive with little or no pay. :)

    Fun to read of your adventures. Have you read “The Tales of a Female Nomad?” It inspired me years ago to walk away from my golden handcuffs of corporate American and start a new life. I am in central Brazil…look me up if you decide to explore Latin America. I love Brazil and have lived here as a volunteer for nine years. Hugs, pat

Once I graduate from this Masters I’m hoping the job I land will let me visit and live in many different countries, I’ll be sure to look you up if I ever make it to Brazil! Janet

    I’m incredibly jealous of your travels! I have no clue how you afford it, lol! I am working very hard to find a way to get back to travel, because it is my passion. I have many stories to tell of the places I have been, but there are so many more I want to see! I got my TEFL so that I could teach English, but without a university degree I am limited. I keep thinking about taking a Journalism course online or something. I have an insane passion for travel and will continue to search for a way to become more portable so that I may continue to explore and share my journeys with others. I had some amazing experiences meeting couchsurfers as well! I also realize that hostels have such a bad name in the States, but they truly are a travelers gem! Please continue to write… it is inspiring.

      I mean you easily stay out of trouble, but what fun would that be? I seem to always get myself into dangerous situations, but only dangerous by western standards. In Africa..it’s just everyday life and seriously exciting! You should deffo take an adventure there…if it’s your first trip go easy on yourself and check out Kenya, South Africa or Uganda…then when you’re feeling braver you can go a little further! :) Also you’re a couchsurfer too?? Awesome! When were you in Dublin?

    Thanks for stopping by Stowaway. Reading your About page is enough to send most of us travelers into a swoon of envy, and I love the posts. Glad you got your camera back!

      haha I love finding fellow couchsurfers who are bloggers! I myself am a total CS addict, and trying to hook my parents up with AirBnB at the mo! :) Thanks for stopping by, too! :)

    So much travel! People think I move around a lot but you’ve got me beat — I hope to have such a crazy story when I’m 26 :) Btw, your avatar looks REALLY familiar to me, it’s driving me nuts not being able to figure out why! Anyway if you’re ever back in Paris give a shout, like!

      Hmmm maybe we crossed paths before?! Are you on couchsurfing by any chance? Who knows! ;) Loving your blog and especially the fact that you love all things Irish! ;)

        YES that’s it! I’ve seen you in the CS forums, especially from when I was planning my trip back in 2009! Funny how we’ve connected three years later :)

    I was wondering where you taught and traveled to in Kenya and where you went to boarding school and what years you were in Kenya.

      Hello! Sorry for RIDICULOUS delay in getting back to you…only seeing this comment now!! I taught in St Kevins Secondary School in Lodwar, in the Turkana province of Northern Kenya. We travelled mostly on the coast and in the Turkana Region, but also a few stops in Western Kenya by Lake Victoria. I went to boarding school in Bandon, in Co.Cork, Ireland! :) Oh and I was in Kenya Summer 2006, Summer 2007 and November 2012.
