More about Sue
I have always loved to travel and had envisioned my life full of constant travel! In my early 20’s I spent months in Europe, the East Coast of the US, and even rented an RV and drove through the US Southwest with girlfriends. Then came marriage and kids, and our travel ended up being mostly Disney or camping trips. Very fun at the time!
Now, my kids are adults and I’m no longer married. I continue working as a “data analyst”, which I actually geekily love! But I found myself with lots of spare time on my hands.
After pondering for a while I remembered my youthful love of writing, and my college-age love of photography. In a true lightbulb moment it occurred to me that starting a travel blog would tie together all of my passions! Travel, data, writing and photography!
So, I started reading every travel blog I could find and realized what an amazing resource they are! So fun to get a personal perspective and to find out about places/ tips I would have never known otherwise.
I’ve been really enjoying learning about the blogging “business” and doing all of the work surrounding blogging. (And Wow, it’s a lot of work and time!) It’s a whole new world for me. It’s so fun to learn something totally new, get to be a little creative, and hopefully provide something useful or at least amusing to other people!
As far as traveling goes, I love almost every part of it! I enjoy figuring out where to go, researching it to a ridiculous extent, finding unique hidden gems, and experiencing the iconic tourist sights.
My Gen X status means I am not interested in staying in hostels (except for this time) or roughing it anymore. I want to feel safe with maybe a little luxury sometimes, but most of all to feel charmed and comfortable with where I stay.
I love learning and seeing new things, and being surprised by what I don’t know. I hate feeling jaded and love being shaken out of that mode!
I don’t mind solo travel, and I know that it can feel daunting for many women. I hope by sharing my tips and experiences, I can give you a little confidence and inspiration to get the heck out there!
