Where (the F) is Dara?: Getting out of the country

Where (the F) is Dara?

A few years ago, a certain TV weatherman whose daughter was a fan of Nickelodeon's "Dora The Explorer" revved up his New York accent and nicknamed me Dara The Explara'. I don't think he knew the half of my obsession with exploring the globe. As I set off to do just that, I hereby honor your pleas and vow to spare your email inboxes the horror of the mass update at every step. Instead, you can check here at will to track me and my little backpack as we venture around the world. Keep in touch!

Getting out of the country

It's more complicated than you might think to wrap life up and bail for a year. I'm working on it. In the meantime, I'm squeezing in tiny amounts of quality time with loads of amazing friends, planning when and where they will each meet me, getting vaccinated for most imaginable diseases (did you know Rabies is 100% fatal?), accumulating vital necessities like DEET and quick-drying shants, and trying to learn how to have a blog. I fly to Auckland, New Zealand via San Francisco on October 2. Miss you already.

About Me

Name: dara

When working, I do so in television and film production. It is a freelance industry. I've always talked about traveling around the world. When the last show I was working on ended, a window of opportunity presented itself so I am currently, well, traveling around the world. The fact that there is now a blog to prove it makes me feel a little official, but mostly like a geek, and a little bit like an imposter since I can barely operate a regular old email account let alone public internet space. However, my friends and family begged me not to bombard them with obnoxious mass emails and yet demanded they be able to keep tabs on my whereabouts, adventures, and mishaps - Jesus, such a picky bunch - so here we have a blog. Enjoy.
