Hey there! I am Audrianna Joy, a female, woman, friend and licensed therapist, mom of two boys, wife of a chef and Oregon transplant. I have the love of travel, music, optimism and story that all motivate me. We were a troupe of four traveling the world and finding out a lot about ourselves, our culture as we see and learn from others. We documented our journey here. I'm exploring and writing about some dreams that I am chasing and cultivating. Join me.
