Why, hello there!

My name is Natalie, and I am a sufferer of extreme wanderlust.

 I didn't get out much when I was a kid, travelwise. We went to Disneyworld early enough that I don't remember much of it, and then there was a road trip to visit family in Arkansas, and that was it. I was a Chicago girl who didn't even venture into the wilds of Wisconsin (aka Milwaukee) until I was of legal age. Then I moved to California on my own, and discovered that there was a whole new world out there. And I discovered the joy of the road trip. And I've made it my mission to go as many places and see as many things as I possibly can. Life's short.

 I've never had a ton of money, so I like to do things on the cheap when I can. I take advantage of the things around me. I say yes to just about everything (travel-related). I feel the need to go somewhere new 100% of the time. So I decided to start this blog to share the adventures I've been on, to show my planning processes, and to give some tips and recommendations on where to go and how. Gonna hope I don't suck at it.

 Thanks for coming on my adventures with me.
