About me

I'm a 50 something, married mother of three (and a rescue pup), who has been blogging for more than five years. I started blogging to help people see that quality travel doesn't have to be expensive. Over time, I've grown to become an adventurer, aspiring foodie, culture fiend who enjoys travel with family and friends. My goal now is to inspire people to expand their horizons, whether around the corner or across the globe.

Why did you join the community?

I want to connect with other travel industry professionals who are passionate about this topic.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Asking a travel blogger her favorite destination, tricky! Paris inspired my blog and my confidence. Hilton Head has long been our family's favorite place to recharge. If I had to pick, it would come down to these two.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

My current travel dream is Norway and Denmark to experience the simplicity of Scandinavian life first hand.

What was your first travel job?

Blogging. My first assignment was covering the Gasparilla Festival in Tampa, Florida.

What do you want to learn more about?

How to improve my relevance for a broader audience.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Self-discovery, Excitement, Understanding
