Born and raised in western North Carolina, I’ve always loved captivating landscapes, authentic food, and engaging travel. A Mountaineer alumnus, I earned my undergraduate and two graduate degrees from Appalachian State University. My family and I reside in Boone, NC.
This website chronicles our adventures – travel and food, international and domestic. I’m excited to bring you along for the journey.
Visiting California for the first time
On a trip to visit family in Northern California, we saw some incredible sites, and realized why this is such a popular area.
Summer 2024
Six years after our last visit, we’re headed back to the Pacific Northwest!
You’ve come to the right place.
I look forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with you.
