I am Alicia-joy and you’ve strutted your stuff over the interwebs  and right onto AdventurousNerd.com. Tired? Cozy up & relax.

I am a nomad who loves weird and nerdy things and weird and nerdy travel.

Areas of interest on this website:

Off the beaten path travel

I love to explore places that are more unique, less traveled. Some people call this off-the-beaten-path. I call it weird and nerdy travel as most of my travel highlights are to do with weird and nerdy things.

You can find these here: Weird-Nerdy Travel

What’s your bliss? Hopefully I can help.

Book & movie recommendations (mostly travel related)

I love reading. I love books. You should too. It’s one of the best ways to build your focus. And everybody knows that focus and concentration are the new superheroes.

I also love bookstores, libraries, and other unique book places (I also feature these places and my weird & nerdy travel stories)

When I read a book that I like, I share it with you. You can find book recommendations here: Book-Talk

On books, reading + the hippest places in town (aka bookstores):

How to read more & read longer. It’s about improving your concentration.

Can a book help you find true love? This one may (or at least help you figure out what in the world true romantic love feels like).

Why was Leonardo Da Vinci such a genius? This book tells you why. It also explains how we can be genius every day. Sound impossible? Check it out for yourself.
