The women in my family seem to have a gene that lies dormant until the age of 50.  At that point, something kicks in and we must travel. I saw this happen in my mother but, at the time, never expected I would find myself with the itch to hit the road (sadly, my grandmother passed away at 49 - which I guess you could argue is a way of travelling, especially given the limited options for women at that time). 

And then I turned 50! Suddenly in the back of my mind far off places were calling my name.  I found myself risking whiplash as I drove past RV sales lots and lingering over pictures of rock formations, cliff dwellings and national parks.

So now I am hitting the road taking my knowledge of health, nutrition and functional medicine with me to hopefully educate and help as many people as I can. I'll be posting my adventures, thoughts on wellness, nutrition tips and travel schedule here.  Hopefully, you will find it entertaining and informative!

Each state has its own majestic beauty and I am constantly amazed at the sheer vastness of this country.  I'll be posting some pictures in the photo gallery shortly.

The drive so far ha...

And We're Off!

After several weeks of preparation, we are finally underway!

I have been blessed with so many incredible friends that saying goodbye was much more difficult than I expected. We had a great “Farewell Portland” party, complete with stories old and new, toasts and treats, and even an impromptu quarter collection to fund my upcoming laundry and shower needs! I am now well stocked!

After a tearful day of goodbyes (dear friends, my kids, the grandbaby, favorite spots) and delivering my darli...
