Welcome to Unexpected Occurrence, an adventure travel blog. Find resources below to help plan your next trip!
I'm the face behind this blog. I've always been torn between living a conventional life and leaving everything behind to see the world, so I've found a balance between the two. I call myself a part-time nomad. I'm always on the move, but also travelling slow and making wherever I am a home.

Through my travels, I’ve learned to fall in love with the unexpected. Adventure travel throws us some major curveballs and you’ve just gotta learn to see the good in them.
