About Me

I grew up in a small city in Connecticut and lived there for my first 18 years. Most of my travels during these years were drivable locations in the area as my parents weren’t huge into travel. My first big international trip was through the Girl Scouts to Italy, France and Spain during high school and I fell in love with traveling. I went away for college which was an amazing experience. I had always dreamed of studying abroad and it is still one of my big regrets from my college days. After graduating university, I went to medical school. This is where I met some of my most travel forward friends and truly my passion for travel blossomed. Medical school and residency were grueling with no money and minimal off time but I managed to cram in as much travel between and by living frugally. I continued to live below my means after finishing 11 years of schooling in order to pay back insane student loans but now I had much more free time and ability to travel so things really took flight. Most of my travels to this point were with friends or solo trips including some medical rotations abroad. I planned to take a year off of working to travel around the world and I was lucky enough to find someone just before the plans who was willing to take that leap with me. Thomas and I traveled to 21 countries over the course of the year with various friends joining at different parts. Now back to normal living, I continue to travel every opportunity I get. Thomas and I got married as destination wedding in Canada. Now we are expecting and get to bring a new little traveler into this crazy beautiful world! Like I said, I really don’t know where I am going but this adventure is just getting started!
