I am a registered nurse working in my community ED. I am a BIG geek, former ballerina, and most importantly traveler. I was bitten by the travel bug at a young age and have been traveling ever since. I am a bit type A, and most of my trips are planned almost to the minute. However, I do know about the importance of impromptu travels. I love walking my way through a city, including getting lost at times. I also love to eat my way thru a city. Food is such an important part of a culture and can tell you a lot about the people and their history. Plus it's supper yummy!
