Volunteering with Save the Bay!
Volunteering with Save the Bay!

There’s a lot to cover. So I’m just going to provide you with a glimpse of my life then, my life now, and my life right now – as an Adventure Philanthropist!

I’ve also included a few of my favorite things like:

  • Shopping & Fashion: It’s hard to be fashionable on the road — but I try! Also my thoughts on the best global markets.
  • Food & Drink: My all-time best and worst meals, plus some great recipes to try at home.
  • I Like!: All things pleasurable including recommendations on books and movies — most having to do with travel.

Would love to hear your favorites too! Write me: Erin@GoErinGo.com

Can’t believe I’ve already completed one year of my 2-year Erin Goes Global adventure – hitting 92 cities in 36 countries!

Here’s a quick recap on my worldwide trek including highlights, a list of new favorites, the *best part* of the trip, and what’s in store for 2012!

Ms CM

When traveling, there’s always the temptation to “Go Native.” In terms of dress, I mean.

I’m not casting stones. In fact, I can fully appreciate the impulse to indulge, which I guess is fairly obvious since I was christened “Ms. Chiang Mai”! Here’s my new wardrobe:

Empanada Close Up

Now that I’m in Central America I’m gorging on one of my favorite foods: empanadas! A stuffed pastry, either baked or fried, its stuffed with just about anything…

Learn all about its history, the different varieties, and how to make one! YUM!

Hijra Woman 2A (Not Erin's Pic)

India is one of the only countries (the only?) to official recognize a “third sex.” Traditionally the term Hijra is used by a person usually born male or intersex, but who uses the female pronoun and as dresses in feminine attire.

Here’s India’s stance on its Third Sex…
