About

About the blog:

I started this a few years ago, as a hobby.  I only post when two things align: 1) I'm inspired and 2) I have time. So... sorry for the big gaps!

I typically write about local history, places I find fascinating but have not yet visited, my travels, and other things I find entertaining.

About the person behind the blog:

I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania and I lived there right up until early 2011, when I moved to Colorado.  Living in Denver gave me the chance to see a different part of the US by easily traveling to formerly distant places. After several years in Colorado I moved back to the east coast.

Places I've been:

I've seen similar maps on other blogs, and decided to steal the idea.  Here's my map (hopefully I will maintain it)! Click through to see the entire map, with all of its detail. Places are mostly alphabetical. Mostly.

I also try to maintain my profile at Atlas Obscura, so you can look at some of the weirder and off-the-beaten-path places I've visited.

I'd love to discuss any of these places, so feel free to get in touch!

Countries: 

Also, I can't count Japan, because I never left the airport, and I haven't been to Scotland, but it is part of the UK. Ditto for the part of France in South America... *shrug*
