[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] Ditmer [26] is a temporary friend of [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] who met him while he was in Northern Europe for work while she was there on a one of her many backpacking trips, having already spent time in [name_f]Africa[/name_f], Australia, and Mexico she embarked on a three month long trip across Europe. She indulged in a lot of simple pleasures during her travels this time around, local food, picking up trinkets, and ending up partaking in multiple hook-ups with those she met in the various countries, although her relationship with [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] was strictly platonic.
She often regards her impulsive choices as being just a method of making memories and enjoying her youth. Often experiencing that cliché ‘invincibility’ that many young people feel in their twenties, but she’s recently realized that she is in fact, not invulnerable.
A few weeks ago, after landing in Poland she found herself coming down with some kind of travel illness, which she’s experienced before but not quite like this. The symptoms lingered and never really went away despite her attempts to shake it off with both western and eastern methods of medicine. She eventually took to a clinic for further help, only to find out that she was ten weeks pregnant. The first thing she felt was shock, followed by shame as she instantly realized that she was completely clueless about who the father was, and even if she did there would be effectively no way contact him. [name_f]Kiana[/name_f] knew that if she returned home, her very conservative mother, would be furious and cast her out of the family. Instead of booking a flight back, she decided to stay in Europe for a while as she figured things out.
Now she’s living in an apartment with a few locals as she researches her options, including potentially looking into seeking to extend her travel visa into a more semi-permanent one. She’s hopeful to put together a plan soon as she can’t keep passing off her morning sickness to her roommates, who are unaware of her situation, as being hungover forever.
