Welcome to Outlaw Academia, the home of unconventional journeys and learning.
Hello, I’m Kelli—your guide to the world’s lesser-known paths. With a background in history and anthropology, I once dreamed of academia but found traditional educational settings too restrictive. My grandparents, avid travelers, instilled in me one truth early on: the world around us is our greatest classroom.
From childhood road trips crisscrossing the U.S., exploring every historic site and national park from the backseat of my grandparents’ Ford Windstar to my post-college life as a flight attendant, I’ve always sought to blend learning with adventure.
“Remember, your education is the only thing they can’t take away from you.”
– Grandaddy Bentley, Patron Saint of Road Trips and Rest Stops.
Thus, Outlaw Academia was born—a community for those who yearn to learn without boundaries. Here, we dive into new cultures, contemporary topics, and exciting histories on our terms, driven by pure curiosity. There will be no single field of study, just a passion for discovery and the freedom to learn as we go.
Join me in turning the world into our classroom, where each adventure offers priceless insights about our world and reveals deeper truths about who we are.
