My name is Alanna Roethle. Google me, I’m out there. When people ask, “Where are you from?” I never know what to say. When I say everywhere, the next question is “Are you an Army brat?” Sometimes I say yes, just so they will stop asking questions. I used to say I was a gypsy, but then I met a real Traveler and he starting speaking some unknown language. So I stopped saying that.
I am a wanderer, a traveler, a girl. I write and I paint and I dream and dance. Home has spread out in many directions over the world. It’s just become bigger, and I am ok with having such a big, beautiful home. I currently live in Austin, Texas, with my fiance, a dog that smiles, and a cranky cat.

Alanna, While you are undefinable, I believe that you are a performance artist whose art is to be! By being fully alive you inspire others to be fully themselves.
I appreciate that thought.
Hi Alanna! I hope you got home safely from Black Rock City! Sorry you missed the temple burn, it was truly amazingly beautiful. I want to say that you are a truly wonderful person and I appreciated you (and everyone else at the Camp Nomadia annex) who made me feel so at home. I know that is common at Burning Man, but having it actually happen is still a delightful experience.
I hope to see you in my future travels!
I wish I could have been there longer too…too far to drive and too many other things to take care of! It was great to meet you- stay in touch! I’ll email you my contact info if you can get me yours!!
