So much to play with, so little time…. I’ve been enjoying a life of exploration, whether it be living in different areas of the country , or trying different life styles.
I started on the East Coast…. have lived in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Colorado and now Oregon…. I figured my next move would be a rowboat out in the Pacific, but something says it’s time to go back East.
I’ve moved pretty much every 3 years of my life until recently. If I got bored, I moved. If work fizzled out, I moved. If the weather didn’t suit me, I moved. I feel pretty much like Goldilocks… “this place is too hot, this one too cold, this one too brown…” Or a modern-day Moses with “itchy feet” as one woman described me years ago. But it’s been fun, starting over whenever the spirit moved me. So, I’ve satisfied my need to explore after 2 decades of playing vagabond and am ready for a return to the old stomping grounds.
So now I’m going to try this “blog” thing, this “diary-gone-viral” thing. Hope you find some tidbits enjoyable….

Hello Linda
Just tried to send message so sorry if you get this twice!
Happened upon your site whilst browsing. I live in Suffolk. England and your life sounds much more exciting than mine. I really envy your spirit of adventure.

After the first few moves it got really easy to see that it was possible to try different things, go different places and survive. Not having a family makes it easy, and being a nurse which means a job is possible just about anywhere give me more courage to take the risks.
But on the other hand, I am sure I missed out on some wonderful family experiences because of my decisions to be a singleton. And there have been more than a few sleepless nights in my life, wondering if I would end up living in a cardboard box under the freeway somewhere.
Bottom line, I figure there is no such thing as “security”. It’s all an illusion, so why spend my life trying to hang on to that?
Why not try one small “adventurous” thing and see how it goes… it’s addictive, trust me
