Travel as much as you can, as far as you can, as long as you can. Life is not meant to be lived in one place.

Iowa ➡️ Texas

My worst trait? I’m nice to people who treat me like shit.

Who made this nasty ass smelling hand sanitizer and said it was okay to distribute it to hospitals!? 🤢 #vodkasanitizer #gagging

Why do gnats fly directly into your eyeballs? Like for real..

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

@BriannanD You can fly to Reno and help me drive back to Iowa 😜😜

Update: found the 2nd best thing

Really want to lay out in the sun but I live in a sketchy residential neighborhood and no yard 😥

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

If 2020 me went back in time and told 2010 me about my life, where I'd be, what my hobbies are.. I wouldn't believe it for a second. Very excited about who I'm becoming and where it will take me!

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

I get annoyed when people are like "we should totally hangout" or "you need to come with us to **" then don't actually follow through.. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my time alone.. I travel solo.. But I also enjoy time with other people, not just my cat

I've spent so much money on Amazon getting supplies for my backpacking trip 😭 sooo freaking hyped though when that shit comes in the mail 🙌🤣

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

The amount of satisfaction I get when I can organize things makes me feel a little crazy sometimes 😅

@BriannanD This trip will be 100% on my own, not with ef break but I'll be taking a trip with them in the spring! I love them! And the people

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

I get a little anxious when I think about my solo trip to europe this fall.. BUT I'M GONNA DO IT🙌

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

It's so nice to have friends that support my wild travel ideas instead of discouraging them or calling me crazy. These are the people I live for.

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

No Thanksgiving = no green bean casserole and that makes me sad

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

Nothing makes me happier than putting money in my savings account 😂 #imanerd

My sister in middle school told me a story of how she stood up to a girl who was bullying her friend, then she felt bad for being rude to the bully. I told her I could not be more proud of her. ❤

A nap sounds nice.. 4 hours later I am forcing myself to wake up 😫

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

I love going home and seeing family and friends but when I get back to my place I'm always depressed for the next 24hrs.. Traveling life is rewarding but definitely not easy

[Dereka Lynn @derekalynn2013]

Isn't it crazy how we change over the years? Our likes/dislikes, personalities, hobbies, ect. Like if you woulda told me 10 years ago I'd enjoy lifting weights I'd laugh in your face! I wanted anything but to look muscular. Very happy for these changes though ❤ #glowup
