Hi! Kim here.
Over the last 35 years I have visited 26 countries and 47 of the U.S. states, including 24 national parks and countless national monuments and state parks.

Along the way, I have developed some travel tricks that I am excited to share with you in this blog.

Home base is Frederick, Maryland, USA with my hubby, best friend, and travel buddy of 29 years Frank and my two “foster fail” cats Boo & Lynx Rufus.
