Come with me on a heritage trip to Indonesia to connect with my father’s homeland, from Bali to Java. Experience the culture and taste the flavors that shaped my father’s career.

Disneybounds I Wore to the Disney Parks in Asia
Disney Parks generally have a fairly strict no costume policy for adults (except around Halloween and Christmas time). Disneybounding is a way to put together an outfit inspired by your favorite characters while still being respectful of the Disney Parks rules. Real talk, it’s a super fun way to show your Disney geekdom while visiting the parks.
About me
Hey Geeks! My name is Beth but on social most people know me as “Geek Girl”. I’ve always thought of that as a badge of honor. I am geeky. I’m geeky about travel, photography, food, clothes. Join me and lean into your geeky, too.

![Happy Saturday, friends. Comment if you'd like me to share more about my whirlwind trip to Paris.
And a quick Beth update: walking is going well and dizziness has lessened a bit, too. Physically, I feel so much stronger already. Mentally, my healing might be a longer process. But I'm making progress and that feels really good right now.
Thank you for the love, support, and chai. 💚

![A slight departure from my normal content. I want to thank you so much for your well wishes. Yesterday, I did have to go in for emergency surgery but all that praying and positivity and fur baby content you sent my way worked because we were able to go with best case scenario plan A for the surgery. I'll have a bit of recovery time, mentally and physically, but I feel very lucky we got me into the operating room as soon as we did.
I've received all of your comments, well wishes, questions, and offers of help. It is so appreciated. Three of the biggest questions:
*Will I have a GoFundMe?* No, I won't. I am very fortunate to have good insurance that will cover the vast majority of this unexpected surgery.
*Can you send get well cards?* You know what, I'd absolutely love that. Here is my very long GGT address:
Geek Girl Travel
19101 Limestone Commercial Dr, Ste 150
#127
Pflugerville, TX 78660-7573 USA
*And finally, what ways can I be supported and helped right now?* Honestly, I am personally very fortunate. I had an amazing surgical team and I have insurance and a husband who can be by my side during my recovery, as well as an army of family and friends. But that's not the case for everyone. I use my Patreon funds to assist others in need. I have been able to support dozens of people who have unexpected bills, rent they can't pay in total, food insecurity -- all thanks to your support of my Patreon. So, if you want to help me, help me help others.
I truly appreciate your love and support. It means the world to me. Also, who else loves hospital socks? Wish I got a second pair. 😅](https://scontent-lax3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/437205684_1345090299515685_7611864603479004197_n.heic?stp=dst-jpg&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=sQ6dU38h38cQ7kNvgF3RZA_&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AYBAoR3inwnzYlXWX6ZKSOfJ8SoJIxjwk8aqC-TD6Zxptg&oe=6681197D)

While in Richmond, I was able to go to Ashland and visit the Ashland Christmas Market. I met so many amazing vendors, but the one that really caught my eye was @hangituprva.
So many of you have asked me about my new Christmas wreath you've seen in my photos and stories. Well, they made this stunning wreath and honestly, it's even more beautiful in person.
Anyone else need a wreath for every occasion or just me? Let me know what you think of my new Christmas holiday wreath in the comments.
