The website A Little Adrift started out as a sort of diary or personal chronicle of the various travels that Shannon O’Donnell has had. Since she wanted to inspire a lot of her readers, she crafted inspiring stories for all those arm-chair travelers out there. Shannon wants to encourage those who want to travel to actually get up from their seats and actually do some travelling. Shannon, who used to be an actress and web-nerd, started travelling in 2008. In her travels, she would hunt down vegetarian meals, and, as a lover of the earth, she would promote travelling green. In other words, she encourages her fellow travelers to actually learn how to use, reuse and recycle stuff instead of throwing them away. In her pursuit to travel, she wants to let people understand that you can do what you want if you do whatever it takes to achieve it.
