About

Who Am I?

Like most people, I am more than what I appear to be. I am a Nurse Practitioner (to be more accurate: Doctor of Nursing Practice), wife, mom, geek, former ballerina and world traveler.

I have been incredibly blessed in that I have been traveling most of my life. At first, it was trips to my grandparents for Christmas and other holidays, but then I started exploring the world. My first time out of the USA, other than Canada (which doesn’t count since I live 3 hours away from the border), was to Hong Kong for a week with my parents. At the time, I didn’t truly appreciate the opportunity. However, this experience did spark my love of travel. It wasn’t until my honeymoon to New Zealand that I realized I was infected with the travel bug.

There is no stopping me now!

Why Should You Read This Blog?

Unlike most other blogs I have read, I have not quit my job to travel the world for a year or more. I work as a nurse practitioner full time AND I travel.

Like most people, I take shorter trips. This means that the blog will be more applicable to the average traveler. However, this blog will have helpful information for all types of travelers.

Now that I am a mom and exploring the world of traveling with a child in tow, I will be adding more advice and tips for traveling with a child.

I will provide you with the type of information a type-A trekker really wants.

What Are My Travel Plans & Goals?

My big goal was to go to all seven continents by the time I was thirty. I completed this goal in 2018 when I went to Antarctica! Now my lofty goal is 40 countries by the time I am forty.

My other goal is to explore at least two international countries a year.

Now that I have a son, my other goal is to take him to a new international destination every year! I want him to gain an appreciation for different cultures, languages, foods, and people. I want him to realize how big and beautiful this planet is.

     My current travel plans for 2023 include: Iceland, Norway, Lexington, KY, & San Diego, CA.
