Mini Josie's Travel Log

Welcome to Mini Josie's Travel Log! Here you can read up on all of her adventures at each of her stops and see where she is now. :)

Read Josie's original Travel Host search post by clicking here!

Quick History: I am a first year medical student (at the time of typing this), and I also have bad wanderlust so being stuck in school under such high pressure study situations is very trying for me. Then in Jan 2014, I decided that if I couldn't travel while trapped in school, there's no reason why Josie can't travel in my place and visit all the cool places I'd like to go. Hence, traveling Josie was born! I plan to have her travel for the next 4 years (until I graduate), and hopefully when she returns at the end of that time, she'll come back with a journal chock full of excitement and lots of awesome photos of her all around the USA and the world! ^_^

      Most 6" tall inanimate objects don't have that much fun.

      This is such a coincidence! Her host in Brazil just informed me Josie has been found and safely arrived, so her adventures can continue. ^_^ Thank you for following Josie and your concern!
