It feels like yesterday I was wearing glow in the dark glasses that welcomed the year 2000 running around my grandparent’s yard lighting fireworks then trying to fall asleep before we made it home so that my dad would have to carry me into bed. Now I’m 31 years old living out of a thirty three foot travel trailer with my partner and two dogs and this is not how I expected to be living, but this has been one of the best experiences I never knew I needed. I’m not a extraordinary writer but have always wanted to share experiences, stories, and random thoughts as a writer so as always, here goes nothing.

Last July we sold our house, boxed up the things we wanted for our next home then ventured out in a 33ft travel trailer built in 2007 to find new things out about our home state and the Western US. We spent 3 weeks in Washington State and learned we were underprepared foreverything but had the time of our life exploring small coastal towns and meeting new people. We spent more time than hoped parked in driveways but were able to connect with family through the few feet that separated their homes and our trailer.

I could keep rambling about the past year and more specifically the past six months but I figure you are more interested in the here and now(You know, whats happening right now as I write this out. It’s -2 degrees and the floor of our trailer feels akin to an ice rink.) This year is going to be something special and I can feel it in my boots and look forward to sharing more with you as I experience it. You can expect to hear about my partner, our dogs, the places we visit, the food we eat, and the ups and downs of traveling through the well to little known parts of the US and wherever else we roam. Thanks in advance for being here and wanting to read about these experiences.
