Asheville, NC
On Thursday evening, after I arrived in Asheville, my friends Grief and Loneliness decided to visit me. They visit me every few months and like showing up out of the blue, without calling first to let me know they’re on their way. It’s very rude, but I’m used to it by now. In the past,…

Congaree National Park, SC
While driving to Asheville today, I stopped at Congaree National Park. I did a hike and had lunch there. It was a great way to break up my drive.

Biloxi, MS
Last week was a whirlwind of emotions. I was both excited and nervous about my upcoming road trip, stressed about packing up my house to leave everything in storage, and starting to wonder what the heck I was getting myself into. I’m still excited and nervous and still wondering what the heck I’m doing, but…

Why a Road Trip?
Many people have asked me what made me want to go on a cross-country road trip. The short answer is that I’ve always wanted to do one and I’m at point in life where I need to learn how to rest and figure out what I want (as opposed to what others tell me I…
