Capturing Moments.
Often barefoot. Hates pants.
Hey friends!
Welcome, happy you are here! In 2019, I resigned from my career in corporate health care to travel full time.
My first destination was French Polynesia and I had no idea how much my entire life was about to change.
Anyone who works or has worked in a corporate environment or health care knows burnout.
I am not ashamed to say, when I walked onto that one-way flight, I was empty inside.
The Tahitian way of life restored my faith in humanity. The people and culture filled my heart and soul. After three months, my mind was reset to what truly matters in life.
From 2019 - 2022 I focused on growing as a photographer, writer, and slow traveler.
Allowing myself the space and time to enjoy my hobbies, passions, and live in the moment every day. Just like a shark needs to keep swimming, I need to keep learning, growing, and moving forward.
When I first started the journey, I had big goals to have a smashing youtube channel, share photos, and all the blogs. And then, I didn't.
All of that sounds great, but it is incredibly time consuming for one person. Also, my bank account for full-time travel was not set to forever.
We all have choices to make every day. During those years, I had the choice to sit on my computer or spend time with new friends, make memories, enjoy wine, and watch the sunset.
I choose memories with [now lifelong] friends and I would do it again and again.
After three years of not publishing a single blog, I can confidently say, I am loaded with a wealth of information and I am dying to share it all with you.
Currently, the list of posts I have to write is at 134. It is both exciting and intimidating.
In 2023 I have big goals to take my writing and photography to the next level. That includes sharing all the information I have learned with you.
Even if you have never taken a trip, my Start Here page is going to act as a dedicated resource for first time and well seasoned travelers.
It lays out a step by step process on how I personally plan my trips, travel gear I recommend, and some fun travel tricks I have learned along the way.

One of my favorite Quotes
Focus on what is important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and when things don’t work out, take another shot.
