About
I’m Zachary Williams, and I have been using the name “Orphaned Nation” since 2012 after a conversation I had with a friend about how the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 has left many states to fend for themselves or being “Orphaned” by their model or parent state.
I have since used this name to apply to traveling; wandering around from place to place, especially with an interest in the politics and social issues of each of the countries I visit.
It is my goal with this website to share stories, travel advise, and photography from each of the countries I travel to. Also, to build a community that mutual helps each other to travel to the farthest corners of the globe.
