About Me
Hi Friends! I’m SJ, owner and chief writer of this travel blog. I’m happy you’re here! I travel throughout the United States with an eye for uncovering new-to-me spots. I love to discover the allure of everywhere I go. I truly believe the United States offers unparalleled opportunities to see beauty. Whether it’s stargazing in the night sky of Arizona, tubing down a river in Nebraska, digging into a fresh Maine lobster, or paddling through a mangrove in Florida’s Nature Coast, I find spots you’ll want to see! I’ll share everything with you, here, on my site.
I’m a wanderer at heart who loves to explore the USA! It’s my goal to visit all 63 of our US National Parks. I haven’t hit them all YET, but I’m working on it! My favorite is Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, with Saguaro National Park in Tucson a close second. Alaska is next on my radar – it’s home to 8 National Parks!
In addition to my experience in planning awesome itineraries and trips throughout the USA, I have an extensive background in the finance industry. I spent more than 20 years working in the financial services arena. As a former project manager for one of the largest payment processing firms in the world, I know a few things about money and prosperity.
As a financial expert, I automatically plan trips and itineraries from a budget-ish point of view. This is where the PROSPEROUS portion of my site comes in: I’ll show you how to have a great time traveling the USA without spending a fortune!
In addition to running this site, I’m also a freelance writer. I majored in History in college and loved writing all those research papers! When I got the chance to start freelance writing, it was a natural fit. My work has been featured in many publications including Arizona Highways, Northwest Travel & Life, Travel Awaits, Clever Girl Finance, International Food, Wine & Travel, and many more.
I’m a proud member of the North American Travel Journalist Association (NATJA), the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association, (IFWTWA), and Trav Media.
Let’s Get Travelling!
