Memoirs of an American Gypsy

Fresh out of college, counting down the days until my 2 month Euro-trip, I was filled with plans for grad school. My future mapped out like a tour bus itinerary. Not even my wildest dreams contained the adventures that were headed my way. The plane left for the US without me. My approach to living began to evolve as I entered a world of the unknown. Hitchhiking, culture shocks, and the meaning of life expand my mind. My eyes begin to open wide, my perspective shifts, broadens, and my feet need another pair of shoes. I am the American Gypsy.

Reece Gesumaria is a wanderlust spirit, a gypsy of the modern age. Enchanted by the world and its inhabitants, she lacks a certain fear to explore which many describe as courage. Her background is in microbiology labs, dance, modeling, hair-cutting, and road trips. The University of Life broadened her knowledge into languages, djembes, the magic in a plant-based vegan diet, cave dwelling, eco-village living, hitchhiking, yoga and meditation. Bursting with positive energy and a passion for life, her adventures have only begun- the depth of this planet and its breathtaking diversity to be discovered yet.
