When my youngest daughter left for college, I had all the time, energy and the freedom to follow my life long dream of traveling and living the gypsy life. I had everything I needed in there from tools, to big fluffy pillows on top of a memory foam mattress and my hula hoop bungeed up on the ceiling. I got rid of most of my material possessions, keeping only the ones I couldn't bare to part with.
Somehow it led me to a path of working seasonal jobs all over the US from Alaska to Florida and a couple summers in Wisconsin at a summer camp, teaching boys how to water ski. Then I decided to try something new last year and go back pack through Costa Rica solo! It was quite the adventure I had hoped! It has been 3 1/2 years since I took off down that first road. I never though I would still be doing this after all this time. It has become my secret addiction, traveling to new places, overcoming my fears, making new amazing friends....and finding out that life is meant to be lived and in so many different ways! I have no idea how long this journey will last, but I know it has changed me in so many incredible ways and for that I am forever grateful.
