Trips
Travel with me as I reminisce about my road and air travel trips in their totality. They are organized in reverse chronological order.
2025: Last Sabbatical Trips
Knowing I would have to move on from sabbatical soon, my decision to hit the road in 2025 confirms my commitment to making decisions based on living my life to the fullest.
2023: Northeast U.S. and Montreal
My uncle and I went on a whirlwind driving tour of the Northeast U.S. to visit state capitols and take a bucket-list side trip to Montreal.
2023: Western Frontier
Many of the greatest travel surprises I have experienced have been in the Western United States. Even as spread out as it is, the West is packed with natural beauty and distinct landscapes.
2023: Great Midwest Loop
The grand Great Midwest Loop would take me to roads far less traveled than the ones I was accustomed to. With time and money, I enjoyed the freedom I felt driving roads less traveled.
2023: Quickie Midwest Swing
This quick road trip through Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri was a warm-up for my 2023 sabbatical travels. I packed a lot into a short trip.
2023: The Sabbatical Begins
Less than a day after I learned I was losing my job in 2023, I decided it was time to hit the road. Six separate road trips during that year made my bucket list shorter but my life fuller.
2022: Traveling on a Career High
Life shifted in 2022, a year of professional change, personal healing, and discovery through travel. From family adventures to work travel, these journeys mark a bittersweet, yet meaningful, chapter of growth and renewal.
2021: The Pandemic Road Trip
My first post-treatment road trip was in the thick of the COVID pandemic. Getting the vaccine meant jailbreak; learn more about my first taste of freedom.
