What is Travel Anyway?

We are born into this world to grow, to move, to change, to be whoever we want to be. We are a summation of everything we experience, all the things we see, and all the people we meet. Everything our bodies, our souls, our hearts touch, we are.

To limit myself inside a box created for me, or worse a box I created for myself, is my greatest fear. So I learned to travel despite the many excuses, reasons, and circumstances to not go.

I learned to leave. I learned to get lost. I learned to come home. Then did it over and over again.

Traveling is not a solution to anything, whether it’s heartbreak or a loss and it’s not always fun. That’s the beauty of it. It builds you, breaks you, and re-creates you, as does life.

So here we are. Here are some fleeting thoughts and a few of my memories about souls I met during my travels. I hope you get out there and make some for yourself. I hope that it triggers a thing or two in you.

Ratings and reviews

Allenie has a gift with words that perfectly encapsulates the different faces of love. As vivid as the photos are the different feelings and emotions, including pain, courage, breakthroughs, highs and lows, that — just like the photos — are far from black and white. Travel Anyway doesn’t just take us to the places she’s been to, but to the amazing journey as well. A must have for anyone who’s brave enough to love and keep loving anyway.

I loved this book! The poems are so personal and full of emotions and the pictures are perfectly captured and chosen. I highly recommend this book to people who love travelling...it's the perfect book to virtually explore multiple places and different emotions that the writer felt throughout her personal journey to growth. Also for those who don't travel/like travelling, it's the perfect book to feel the connection between our emotions and travelling and maybe start travelling :)

Travel Anyway is a breath of fresh air! Many people are afraid to be emotionally vulnerable in their everyday lives and talk about the most important things in life. As you'll see when you read Travel Anyway, Allenie is not afraid to confront very emotional issues head on and her complete openness with the reader makes it a fantastic journey to follow. Perhaps my favorite part of the poems were the deep questions that were asked that prompted some deep self-reflection that I believe we all need from time to time. Would certainly recommend this book to everybody, particularly those who have felt challenged and changed by the joys of travel.
