Hello, I’m Molly and I live in St. Paul, Minnesota (the unceded lands of the Dakota People).
In 2013, I spent 7 months backpacking through China, Japan, Mongolia, Russia, and Europe. At first, I made Molly’s Journey to the West to document my trip across the world. Now that I’m done with that adventure, I continue to update my blog with my travels in Minnesota and in other parts of the world.
It is important to note that I don’t write here as often. If you’re interested to learn more about what I’m up to, check out my monthly newsletter at Coco Canary Consulting.
