CURRENT MISSION

See the world and find...something interesting

ABOUT ME

Just quit job after over 10 years at a hospital where I was surgical tech on Labor and Delivery unit so that I could travel around the world for a year or so. Hoping to volunteer a bit as I go and to visit places I've never been. Planning to start reading audiobooks when I settle again.
Now I've been traveling for 2 years and I'm working on getting my dive master so I can keep going, maybe fund some travels through South America that way. I love traveling so much I don't want to stop!

PHILOSOPHY

Just This.
