Life is so good. It's been a crazy year and a half. From quitting my job and living an absolute dream to coming back home and getting back on my feet pretty quickly after spending all of my savings on this trip. The time I spent on the road and the people that I met along the way were all so perf...

Some days are just better than others. Getting some much needed R&R after getting back to reality from my trip. I needed the peace and quiet for my soul. A hammock in the woods with fresh air is so restorative. Perfect timing!

We've been a few places and seen a few things...This was an incredible part of my journey last year where I got to show my mom a part of my crazy lifestyle and share some of my favorite spots I discovered on my journey. We spent a little over a week in 3 different locations and she got a T@b to c...

After the past 14 months on the road and 17K miles driven, I'm not the same person I once was. I've learned so much about life, love and the pursuit of happiness. One of the most beautiful lessons that I've learned is the value of time. We don't have much of it. Spend it wisely doing the things y...

Moved back in with my parents!!! I'm slowly making my way back to Tennessee. I will seriously have to fight the urge to try and stay through Christmas. I really need to get home. My parents are taking a much needed vacation while I hold down their fort and have the privilege of spending some tim...

Sometimes you just find yourself in the right place at the right time... I could have never imagined I'd get to watch lightning strike near a rainbow again like I did a few years back in Sevierville, TN. Yet, here we are! I had to move campsites because of a lady that had 4 or 5 dogs off leash ne...
