The Vagabunda: Journeys Without Borders is an ongoing memoir that invites readers into the life of a traveller, archaeologist, doctor of medicine candidate, and global adventurer. This first part of the series begins in the Middle East, where the author prepares to set out on a journey across Asia, returning to China-a country she previously called home. Through humorous and adventurous anecdotes, readers are drawn into the excitement of crossing steppes, exploring ancient and historic sites, working on archaeological digs, meeting diverse characters, hiking, and more.
This instalment focuses on the preparations for the Silk Road-inspired expedition, capturing the vibrancy and culture of the Middle East. It serves as an introduction to a broader narrative that spans continents, from Europe to Oceania, Asia to Latin America. The memoir recounts a life spent not only exploring but living in different countries, pursuing graduate studies in medicine, working in varied locations, and navigating the intricacies of cultural exchange.
