Hello, and welcome to my blog! I’m glad you’re here 🙂

I LOVE ADVENTUROUS THINGS! Whether that involves taking a trip, learning a new skill, or doing something in my backyard (this is figurative… I live in an apartment and don’t have a backyard 😉 ). My goal is that this site will allow you all to find fun in the everyday, travel a little more efficiently, and have a great life!

A little bit about me:

This last year has been one of my most adventurous yet. I got a new job which involves a lot of travel, both in and out of the country. I visited about 15 domestic locations and 2 countries outside the USA in one year… just for work. My friend and I competed in an all-female air race across the country in her 1946 Navion. We were one team of about 54 total flying small airplanes from Maryland to New Mexico. While coordinating more work trips, I’m getting ready to head to Italy in October for my first time ever.

IT’S ALL SO ENERGIZING!

I never feel quite so alive as when I’m planning for and participating in my next big adventure. My friends describe me as “their most adventurous friend” consistently and I guess I’m just trying to live up to their expectations 🙂 However, I’m also a firm believer that a “big adventure” can take place right in your backyard with the correct mindset. I don’t have mass quantities of disposable income, so I focus on mostly practical, efficient adventures. In the last few years, I obtained my pilot’s license, scuba certification, and MBA. I’ve owned two different airplanes and flown across the country in two others. Because I travel for work, often by myself, I am constantly hiking and adventuring solo.

Every year it becomes more apparent that it is NOW OR NEVER! We have only got one life to live and I want to maximize every minute of it. I hope by reading my posts you will be inspired to maximize your life as well.

Welcome to my life. My Practical Girl Adventure.
