I have mixed emotions today. One of the greatest accomplishments of my life but also a very painful day. My travel obsession has euphoric highs and crushing lows. A sweet refuge for the soul as I reminisce. I have only shared this video with seven people to date – my Titusville Y leadership team &Continue reading “1 yr Everest Base Camp Anniversary”

I absolutely love motivational quotes and have found a few that have profoundly changed my perspective about life. This is one of them….. Really let this one sink in. How about you?

On my US epic road trip, I looked forward to finding my daily hideout to enjoy lunch. Sometimes it was a the peak of a picturesque mountain, many hidden waterfalls gleaming in the sunlight, other times it was a picnic table hidden in the tree groves or possibly a secluded log overlooking the gorge.

It may not be a big deal to anyone else, but 25 has always been my favorite number so my 25th blog is a milestone for me. Growing up my jersey number was always 25, which was unusual for the point guard, setter, lead off batter – the short girl usually got stuck with theContinue reading “The BIG 25”

Last stop on my US National Park tour was a big one….. Yosemite. Driving in through the south entrance at 7:15am and peering through Tunnel View, the first sight is the monstrous El Captain looming straight ahead. It smacks you in the face. Right away you know this valley is special. It’s hard to chooseContinue reading “Bear Encounter”

There is just something special about Zion National Park. It’s a feeling. A zone. It’s Utah’s most visited NP for a reason. Most places in this world I would be happy to see just once, but my much awaited return to Zion consumed me for years. Early October I knew would be the perfect mixContinue reading “Angels Landing”

Do you ever wish you could unpack all your stuff that has added up over the years? SO MUCH STUFF….. The freedom I feel on the road is so refreshing. Many of my friends know I can rock 1 bookbag for a week trip & not even think twice about it. Simplicity is more importantContinue reading “Minimalism”

I get asked quite often how I find out about all these crazy places and unique experiences to dive into. Then actually find the energy & courage to complete them? Just like my sister in law who genuinely loves to cook & create delicious masterpieces in the kitchen, my passion is researching worldwide locations thatContinue reading “Being truly fearless”
