Journeys of Why
the travelogue of my mind
- “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”
About Me
- Wailana Kalama has wined and dined on six different tectonic plates. Her escapades include riding a midnight train across the Karakyl Desert, weaving in the Atlas Mountains, and surviving electric storms on a Greek ship while saturated in coffee. Her goal in life is to travel the world with nothing but a satchel and a good pair of boots.
