Bonnie's Follies

In 2021 I was harvesting radishes on my organic vegetable farm in Iowa, USA & was thinking about how hard life had been lately. It occurred to me that I didn't have to be on that struggle train & that it was time to change everything. My mom had passed away in March that year, my kids were grown & doing well, it was time to break up with a relationship that should have ended long ago. So I walked out of the field, into my house, & started making a plan. I had decided to run away from home: broke up with my boyfriend, sold some stuff to finance a few months away, & bought a one-way ticket to Mexico. 

I thought I would hang out on the beach for a winter to clear my head. But over two years later I have since sold my farm & all of my belongings. I am still traveling and having the most fun of my life. 

I get a lot of DMs saying that it is inspiring to see my adventures as a 50-something single woman traveling solo so here I am. 

See you in the wild.
