A Journey of Discovery Through Art and Travel by Tanya Kimberly Orme

A poet, artist, musician, sailor and world
traveler unable to quell a deep sense of
adventure, Tanya jetted off to the jungles of
Costa Rica when she was barely 18.

Artistic abilities and humanitarian love
surfaced at a young age. Passionately creative
and spiritually evolved, Tanya studied world
religions and respected the values of each of
them. She sold paintings and gave every spare
dollar to charities, with a relentless quest to
aid hungry children. She attended Florida
Atlantic University, and backpacked alone in
Australia and New Zealand before returning to
Florida. She spent a summer in Ecuador before
graduating Summa Cum Laude with a degree
in Anthropology.

At the age of 24, Tanya was killed while a
passenger in a single car crash. With amazing
diligence, Tanya had kept copious journals of
her life as a solo traveler. It is in these journals,
found after her death, that reveal struggles and
triumphs, amazing self-motivation, spiritual
growth and personal accomplishments in
reaching scripted goals.

“Tanya has changed the way I look at     
the world and left me with many happy
memories. I think she generally had that
affect on people; she would challenge
them and often leave them with some
small improvement -- something positive,
and this positive disposition tended to
wear off  on people.”
