Autorenporträt
Born and raised, like most people, Adeena's journey began amidst the bustling streets of Johannesburg. In addition to mastering the art of breathing and walking (albeit occasionally in circles), she also conquered other essential life phenomena like swimming and math-which proved particularly useful for deciphering cryptic street signs and calculating the odds of missing her train by exactly two minutes. And while Johannesburg was way too far away from the ocean for her liking, it was the perfect springboard for her to dabble in a little bit of everythingCurious about the outside world, Adeena hesitantly agreed to join some friends on an adventure through Africa in 2007. What was initially intended as a three-month trip quickly transformed into an addiction-to both adrenaline and the word 'yes'. Consequently, Adeena found herself accidentally cycling across continents, hitchhiking across others, and allowing the whims of the wind to carry her around the world more than once. (Though, admittedly, the wind also had a knack for tossing her around quite a bit).While unemployment has been a recurring theme in her life (seriously, who needs a time limit for adventure?), Adeena has tackled a plethora of random jobs in various countries, crafting a resume that's more eclectic than a thrift store bargain bin.Adeena's most notable accomplishments to date include not only surviving (a feat that deserves its own medal) but also mastering the fine art of making mistakes-often spectacularly. Currently attempting to plant some roots in Portugal (figuratively, of course), she's also delving into the world of Adventure Therapy, amongst other things. And while she's still undecided about what she wants to be if she grows up, one thing's for sure: being an "adult" is definitely not on the list of options.
