Exploring North Dakota, The Midwest, and Beyond
For as long as I can remember I’ve always had a fascination with languages. I don’t really know where that fascination came from, but I think it had something to do with the Spanish language game my parents had bought me when I was a youngster. I think I was […]
It’s no secret to those that know me that I love everything and anything to do with outer space. Mom and Dad, I blame you guys for being total Trekkies and turning me into one too! I grew up watching Star Trek (Deep Space Nine (I loved the comet), The Next […]
I’ve read on many travel blogs how wonderful Airbnb is and the concept is fantastic. However my first Airbnb experience has a lot to be desired. I was on my way to Hawaii and in Minneapolis, in fact, when I reached out and requested to book a bed in this […]

This spring when I went to Vegas to see The Eagles in concert at the MGM I went exploring. The Valley of Fire had been on my list of must see geological places ever since mom told me how spectacular it was when they saw the Eagles months earlier. Just […]
One of my favorite things about flying everywhere is the view from the window seat. Over the years I have gathered a collection of beautiful photos from the sky. I love flying out of Fargo around the beginning of August! The land always looks like a beautiful patchwork quilt. Clouds […]
