Summary
In Alice in Wonderland, Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole and then her strange, trippy journey begins. The white rabbit represents an idea or concept which could lead to discovery. It actually pops up in many places including the Matrix films, Star Trek, Jurassic Park, and Stephen King novels. It’s also the pen name of a 24-year-old high sensation-seeking adventure blogger who views herself as a white rabbit open to new and different ways to do things.1
“The white rabbit doesn’t tell you what to do, it shows you,” she explained. And that’s exactly what she has set out to do. Her plan? the world for free.
“It’s an idea that started growing when I started hosting on CouchSurfing,” she said.
