About Me

I'm just your average traveling nurse, trying to fill some hole in my heart by visiting new places and exploring the world.  I spend my work nights wiping ass, passing pills, and watching people die for 12 hours straight, so it helps to have an adventure lined up to look forward to.  This blog is to help you plan said adventures, and help me document my own. 

​

I've visited 39 US states, lived in 4 of them, and have driven across the country 6 times.  I've explored 40 of the 63 National Parks, numerous state parks and forests, and 8 different countries.  I have a passion for wildlife and conserving it, as well as attempting to photograph it.

​

When I'm not traveling, I enjoy sleeping, eating, and watching TV. I also enjoy reading all kinds of books, studying physics (standard model, loop quantum gravity, etc), drinking beer, wine, and coffee, photography, astronomy, and playing Dungeons & Dragons.​
