Life's Big Adventure

Everyone is on a journey right now, and mine took me away from this platform for a little bit. I have been experiencing many new places and people as I make my way into another phase of my life.

Here is a brief summary to catch you up to speed and in line with my big life adventure.

I touched base with you last in Pennsylvania and since then I have somehow found a surprising home in Arizona. To encapsulate my solo trip across America in one post would be to leave out some bread crumbs I dropped along the way, but I want to share some significant moments. 

Waving goodbye to my supportive and loving family in Maryland, I embarked on my multiple day journey. After a calming drive through the hours of densely packed greenery, I made it to Tennessee which I left in the morning to continue driving to Oklahoma City. Once I hit Oklahoma, the greenery thinned into sparsely vegetated land; there was not much to look at. A restful night helped me through another long day of driving, reaching Albuquerque, New Mexico. The last two legs of the journey took me through Phoenix and finally to San Diego.

I learned along the way Arkansa has 52 state parks and there are Cadillacs buried in Texas. I had never been to most of the states I drove through and stopped in, which let me experience places I never thought I would get to. 

Driving solo across the country was an incredible experience for me that I would do again in a heartbeat. Sometimes I would listen to one song for three hours of the drive and other times listen to podcasts about crime and mental health. 

This was a growing moment for me that I will always be thankful for.

At the end of this long drive, I settled in Arizona where I work full time and adventure as much as possible. I will continue posting, and I'm excited to share my fresh life adventures with you, big and small. 

Keep following along this wild ride!
