After a grueling 5-day cross-country trip (with two days of torrential rain), I finally arrived at my Asheville Airbnb. I only have this one until the 14th, so I’ve been busy researching places to live. I found one in Hendersonville, … Continue reading
I’ve never been a fan of long driving trips. Especially not solo. I know they say to enjoy the journey, but some drives are just not fun or interesting. Yesterday’s drive on highway 40 from Gallup, New Mexico to Amarillo, … Continue reading
I found out a couple of days ago that I have a complex torn meniscus and baker’s cyst in my injured knee. I had been trying to take it easy and let it heal, but it didn’t get any better. … Continue reading
I know it’s difficult to eat healthy while traveling, but if you’re a full-time traveling Nomad (like me), it’s imperative to find healthy recipes and snacks. Since I’ve been back to the States from Spain, I haven’t had any junk … Continue reading
Friday’s adventure began with a dermatologist appt. an hour and a half from Kanab in St. George, Utah. Then I went for a 20 mile bike ride along the Virgin River. Unfortunately, my battery died about a mile before the … Continue reading
Yesterday I was fortunate to visit the Lower Antelope Canyon. I’ve heard about it for years and finally got to see it. I went through a tour operator called Ken’s Tours, based in Page, Arizona. It’s only a half a … Continue reading
Yesterday was fun! I cycled 20 miles on Zion Canyon Scenic Road. Since there are mainly shuttle buses beginning April 1st, it was peaceful without traffic. Amazingly beautiful! I also volunteered at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in the medical cat … Continue reading
Thursday’s adventures began before sunrise. I drove from Kanab, Utah to hike in Page, Arizona. I was the only person on the 3.5 mile hike. Then I stopped at the grocery (since it’s so expensive here in Kanab) and drove … Continue reading
I didn’t want a long drive on Easter, so I discovered two beautiful areas to go cycling with my e-bike. The first stop was at Jackson Flat Reservoir in Kanab. It’s only 3.5 mi around the lake, but the views … Continue reading
Yesterday, I left my lodging in Kanab, Utah at 6:00 a.m. and drove for an hour in the dark to Zion National Park. Although I had heard that it gets busy quickly, I was surprised that the Visitor Center parking … Continue reading
I arrived in Kanab on Thursday and stopped at Horseshoe Bend on the way. The water is very low. My little studio is comfortable and cute. It was so nice to organize the few possessions I have left so that … Continue reading
The last couple of weeks have seemed long, since I’m anxious to get to Spain. There have been a number of train accidents and flooding within Southern Spain, and I was notified yesterday that my high speed train from Malaga … Continue reading
I’ll get to my “stuff” in a minute. My deceased son’s birthday was New Year’s Eve. I was sitting out in the park next to my Airbnb early that morning and a lone coyote walked by. He kept stopping and … Continue reading
Hey everyone, Merry Christmas! Since I last posted, I went on a solo hike that led to a reservoir. It was partially frozen over. I tried to make it a mindful hike, paying attention to small details in nature. Saturday … Continue reading
Before we get to the Christmas gifts, Saturday evening I went to a singles dinner with about 35 people. The white elephant exchange was fun. I’m glad I picked a bottle of wine. As a nomad, the less ‘stuff’ you … Continue reading
