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.
Western adventures – this time in the fall!
The Rocky Mountains are an incredible place, and I’m excited to share about our time there.
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.
