Tales from a Beautifully Bizarre World
Sober reflections on travel, life, and the chaos in between.
Welcome to The Sober Globetrotter blog—where the detours are the destination, and sobriety isn’t a limitation, it’s the lens. This blog is part journal, part travel guide, part spiritual side quest—with a few snacks and catastrophes along the way.
It’s about what I learn when I get lost, what I feel when I’m far from home, and all the stupid, uncomfortable growth that happens when I fully commit to the journey. Expect travel tips, personal truths, weird moments, and the occasional unsolicited life lesson.
I’m Ginny—former chef, current globetrotter, and semi-professional overthinker—inviting you to wander with me through the strange, the beautiful, and the brutally honest.
We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves.
