White Baboon

a travel anthology chronicling the trips of three women

Welcome to the blog!

White Baboon is the travel anthology chronicling three inspirational women on trips to Europe, Eastern Europe, and Asia. It is their travel guides, their travel photos, and their travel diaries of what they experience and who they become as a result of their voyages. It is the Lonely Planet of self-exploration, the Eat Pray Love of travel blogs.
