Hey there! I’m Mikala, aka The Unanchored Passenger. I kicked off this blog back in 2015 ahead of a transformative study abroad experience in Sevilla, Spain. Since then, I kept up with the blog for a few years, but I’m now bringing it back in full force after overcoming heartbreak from a broken engagement by diving headfirst into travel.

Are you navigating your own journey of healing and growth? This blog is your safe haven.

Seeking tips and inspiration for solo adventures? You’ve come to the right place.

Dreaming of leading an unconventional life that allows you to put travel first? Consider this blog your compass.

I initially came up with The Unanchored Passenger name because I just felt so swept up by travel. It was magic, and it was carrying me away. Following my breakup, I’ve found new meaning in the name.

We’re all just passengers riding along the waves that life throws at us. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we find ourselves adrift, unable to anchor down and weather the storm. But not all is lost—while we can’t always fight those waves, we can handle how we react to them.

I hope this blog helps you navigate those waves and leaves you feeling empowered to let the world take you on a journey.

Cheers,

Mikala
