Brenda talks to fellow twentysomething (and high school alumnus), Vanessa Elizabeth of the travel and lifestyle blog, Wander Onwards. Vanessa shares her early feelings of finding something better, just how the hell did she end up living in China, and just a few of the struggles of living abroad. They then discuss feeling unsafe in America vs. other countries, and the wealth of tips for cheap traveling. Also, OF COURSE, she talks about the insanely viral article <a href="http://wanderonwards.org/23-things-to-do-instead-of-getting-engaged-before-youre-23/">&#8220;23 Things To Do Other Than Getting Married Before You&#8217;re 23&#8221;</a> she wrote, and the aftermath that followed (spoiler alert: death threats).  Get inspired to step out of your comfort zone!

9/30/15 “I Am”

Brenda Wong is a twenty-something post grad that isn't living in her parents' basement–the house doesn't have a basement. She talks out her ass about what it means to be in a quarter-life crisis, exploring experiences involving work, relationships, dating, family, just what the hell is wrong with people sometimes, and general shooting the shit with friends (or herself).
