AboutThe 30 Journeys was born from a simple question:
If these stories could change one life, what might they do for others?
Created by Trish Tassin, The 30 Journeys is a storytelling initiative devoted to amplifying nomadic voices and honoring the many ways people reinvent, rebuild, and create lives on their own terms.
Its debut anthology, Nomadic Women: Tales of Triumph on the Open Road, introduces readers to 30 women whose lives were forever changed by turning points that led them toward unexpected new beginnings.
This is only the beginning. Future anthologies will continue to celebrate authentic stories of resilience, reinvention, and the many different ways women create lives on their own terms.
The 30 Journeys
The 30 Journeys believes in elevating stories that are raw and radiant, filled with the kind of wisdom that can only be earned by stepping into the unknown. Each voice offers something rare: a personal blueprint for resilience, resourcefulness, and reinvention. These gritty stories from the road will break you open and build you back.

Editor
Aerin Moon
Aerin is a sparkle-in-the-eyes, 50-something embracing the privilege to change it up, do it anyway, and stop explaining. After decades of duty and overwork, she hit the road with her rescue dog Murphy in search of something wilder, freer, and more true. Now living full-time in her van, Aerin seeks the moments, the smiles, and the giggles, and challenges herself not to waste a single one. She still dreams of finding a van pal or two to CB radio with, much like the Dukes of Hazzard. (Responsibly, of course.)
