About Runaway Ann

Runaway Ann started back in 2013 when I set off on my first adventure across the USA. Excited to share my experiences and tips with loved ones, I started this travel blog.

My love for travel has been with me for as long as I can remember. It started with exploring my homeland, Poland, and then expanded to other European countries.

As a budget-conscious traveler, I’ve always been a DIY explorer, finding adventure wherever I go. From backpacking through Asia to road-tripping across Europe, I’ve embraced every opportunity to discover new places.

Having traversed nearly 30 countries to date, I prioritize extended journeys over shorter ones. This choice facilitates a deeper immersion in each destination, enabling me to curate richer and more valuable content for my readers.

Recently, I achieved my dream of independent travel by building my own camper van and moving to the USA. Currently, I’m exploring the breathtaking Pacific Northwest states, accompanied by my two cats.

In 2023, I took a leap of faith and left my full-time corporate job to dedicate myself to this blog. What began as a simple hobby has evolved into a passion for sharing my love of travel and exploration with the world.

Today, Runaway Ann warmly welcomes budget travelers from around the globe. I’m grateful for the chance to inspire and empower others to embark on their own adventures, one destination at a time. Join me on this journey!

More About Me

Alongside my love for exploring new places, I’m also passionate about food and cooking. My travels serve as a constant source of inspiration for creating delicious meals, whether it’s trying local delicacies or experimenting with new flavors in my kitchen.

My two furry companions, Mana and Scarlett, are always by my side during my camper van adventures. They bring joy and companionship to every journey, making each experience even more memorable.

When I’m not off discovering new destinations or whipping up culinary delights, you’ll find me enjoying the beauty of Oregon. I love hiking through nature trails and soaking in the peaceful ambiance of the great outdoors.
