Hobo Annie is a small town girl from Utah who lives in Southern California with her best friend and husband, Bearwalker.  She began traveling the world at the suggestion of Bearwalker, whose ears were beginning to bleed from constant chatter. So they made a deal.

Hobo Annie travels solo, which she absolutely adores. She keeps detailed journals, full of INTERESTING chatter, and when she returns home he reads it. Less talk that way. She likes it, too...it preserves the awe that each new place creates, and as a writer and poet, that's great for future inspiration.

Yes, there are huge rocks being spewed out of that volcano! I instantly loved Costa Rica as if I'd been born there. Arenal 2010 

Seriously? Overcoming my biggest fears - here I am 400 ft underground in New Mexico, 'caving' and drawing on something I didn't know I had in me to trust, take a deep breath, and slide headfirst into a black hole............ Carlsbad 2010

The hobo's latest adventure abroad:  Venice was an absolute dream! I could live here, but I'd have to trade my scooter in for a jet ski!  Venice 2007

In Fiesole, a hillside Tuscan town...with the local biker gang. Friendly guys who got moon eyed over my photo of Bearwalker's '42 Harley. They'll probably all show up at our house someday.

On the island of Murano, I became the victim of two young Brazilian guys who asked me to take their photo, and offered to take mine. They insisted on sharing their headgear - literally putting it on me as I stood there - because, as they put it, "We only take FUN photographs everywhere we go!"
