CURRENT MISSION

I seek to become that elusive transparent eyeball...

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Chatham, New Jersey. Went to school in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Worked as a journalist for four years. All was well and good for a while. But then...

In January 2010, I realized that I hadn't needed to buy a new road atlas for two years. Around that same time, I met a man, decided I wanted to travel with said man, quit my job and drove away in May 2010.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have always been in love with driving - when I was a kid, my family never flew to vacation destinations, but always drove instead. When I was 11, we drove from New Jersey to California and back. That cemented it. I have driven from NM to NJ 13 times, from NM to CA 6 times, from NJ to Michigan, from NJ to Tennessee - and now I'm driving as far as I possibly can once again. I have traveled a little bit internationally, but I would love to see as much as I can in America before I concentrate too much on other countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I spent five years at what was considered one of the best creative writing undergrad programs in the country, so I can pick apart a poem like nobody's business. But I can't change a flat tire.
