Rambling Revery

Merriam Webster defines ramble as:

1. To walk or go from one place to another place without a specific goal, purpose, or direction.
2. To go from one subject to another without any clear purpose or direction.

And revery:

1. Daydream
2. The condition of being lost in thought

A fitting name for a blog run by a travel-obsessed space cadet. I have some hopes and dreams for this blog, but for now, I thought I should post some kind of introduction.

Island in the Sky

That's me. And I don't quite know what to elaborate on. I'm a Michigander, born and raised. When I was a kid, we'd go visit my cousins in Wisconsin and I soon realized that I loved those long car rides. As I grew older, I tested that love with longer road trips out to Chicago, Washington DC, and a few other places before setting my sights on a nineteen hour car ride to Denver. I took that one solo, and loved every minute-- including those white knuckled moments in Indiana when I wasn't sure if my Yaris could handle the impromptu ice storm, or lost in Big Thomson Canyon at night with no map or GPS. Currently on my trip radar, there's a trip to Traverse City, Michigan/Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes in May, Michigan's Upper Peninsula in July, Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota in July, and a Nevada/California/Arizona/Utah road trip slated for September... and hopefully a few spontaneous camping adventures thrown in along the way, too.

I'm passionate about seeing everything I can, and excited to have a place to dump all the daydreams and itineraries bouncing around my head. More soon!
