Carry-On with Kelley

Packing Travel, Cancer, Recovery and Self-Discovery in One Small Bag.

October 2018, I was living in Bali, 14 months into my own "eat, pray, love" sojourn. I ended up in an Emergency Department of a Balinese hospital with what I thought was a broken arm. I left the hospital with a cancer diagnosis.

I returned to the states with nothing but the worn sundress I was wearing, and my straw bag.

This is my story. That day. The 14 months of travel leading up to that day (how that even came about.) Cancer. Treatment. Recovery. Set backs. And the Self-Discovery.
