MEANDERING MEARCSTAPA
Border Dwelling
Welcome to Meandering Mearcstapa, my very own blog filled with exposes on my travels and latest life lessons. Mearcstapa is an old English word that means "border stalker." I identify as one who dwells on the borders, constantly engaging and moving into unfamiliar territories. May the mearcstapa in you enjoy this page!
