Here’s the 411 about me.
I am ALWAYS up for an ADVENTURE!!! Nothing better than escaping the four walls I live in or work in to travel, adventure and explore. I also CRAVE Life and CONQUERING Today! Nothing better than learning, growing and gaining life experiences.
I met my best friend who I married and share my life experiences with every day. We both love the outdoors and enjoy camping, hiking and biking. We love to get out and explore new places. We are wine geeks and beer freaks – ha!

I enjoy landscape photography – gives me a visual presentation of my travels – gives another dimension to my blog posts.
I am an avid reader. I enjoy learning new things, like blogging, creative writing and social media.
This Chapter has Ended! I enjoyed living Out West with the high desert and mountain environments. The beaches and wineries were close by. In the 11 years Out West explored NV, CA, AZ, OR, WA, ID, MT, and WY.
A New Chapter Begins! In May 2015 moved to the Southeast. Hello! Florida and Living the Floridan Lifestyle!

Hi there–LOVE your pick up sticks analogy. That is how I used to live my life–always afraid that if I pulled out one stick, the whole pile would fall. Then a stick got pulled out for me, the pile fell, and you know what? It was all fine. Thanks for reminding me of how important balance is in one’s life. Love the profile too–wine and travel. Fabulous.
Best,
Suzanne

Suzanne –
Thanks – I am glad you liked the post. Yes, inside of stressing just enjoy living! Stuff Happens, You Deal & Move Forward. We all could use more balance – really are our lives going to fall apart if we do not work another hour or scrub a toliet – enjoying life is much more important.

Renee, I thought I was already subscribed to your blog! I can’t believe I wasn’t!! So now I am. So there. Looking at some of your photos takes e back to when I lived in Las Cruces, NM. I miss it sometimes, I really do.
I love traveling AND wine so I know that I will enjoy following your adventures! Take care and have a great weekend yourself! (You’re always telling ME that! ;))
September 16th, 2011 at 9:04 AM
Thanks for subscribing to my blog – truly appreciate it. Living on the West Coast has been a great experience so far and would love to take a visit to NM in the near future. I hear you because sometimes I miss the Midwest just not the humidity and harsh winters:)

I am really enjoying your blog well done! How do you manage to be so active!! Looking at your beautiful photography and the descriptions feels a bit like going on holiday. I live in a very small country so there are no real opportunities to explore, especially due to the lack of countryside, which makes blogs like yours even more fun for me. Thanks!
September 25th, 2011 at 8:46 AM
Thank you for the nice compliment:) I am active, but know how to couch surf too. Life is short, so live it to the fullest. I enjoy reading other people’s travel blogs, especially seeing travels outside the United States – there is so much to see and do out there.
You are so welcome – Take Care – Renee

Hey Renee. I was checking out your blog and I love it! My wife and I just started a similar themed blog. We, too, crave some adventure in our lives so we’re out to find it! Our blog can be found at modernepicblog.com If you don’t mind, I’d like to add your blog to our links blogroll. And if you like ours, I’d love it if you would our blog to your blogroll, too. Of course, we only have like four posts up so far, but we just kind of got started yesterday 🙂 Have an awesome day!

Thanks. I find the Bio aspect of my blog the hardest to write and have tweaked it a few times so far. You want to be personal, but not do a tell all! Life is Too Short Not to Live IT to the FULLEST:)
Have a Great Day & Take Care – Renee
October 26th, 2011 at 5:50 AM
Oh dear – if you find the bio part the most difficult, I hope you don’t mind that I have nominated you for the versatile blogger award! You will need to share 7 more things about yourself! I really do enjoy reading your blog – thanks for sharing!
October 26th, 2011 at 8:36 AM
Anita –
Thanks for the nomination. This will be my 2nd nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award – so Honored! What I do not want to do to my readers is overshare, so I try to find that balance. I too have enjoyed reading your blog on a daily basis – you love to cycle in some beautiful places:)

I stumbled on your blog and enjoyed reading about the places you’ve been. It looks like you have love for some of the same places we do (we also live out west and love Hawaii). I love finding new travel blogs and learning how others experience this amazing world we live in. I followed you and look forward to future posts.

Thanks for stopping by the other day. It led me right back to your site. Can’t wait to read up on your archives. It’s wine season here in our town, which makes some wonderful white wines. For some of the weinguts in the area, they are only open for a few months each year. Hope you get a chance to visit the Rhineland on your travels!

Your blog is interesting and like me i’m always craving for an adventure. And one more thing i like the way you said ” We both love the outdoors and enjoy camping, hiking and biking. We love to get out and explore new places.” I’m a solo backpacker how i wish my partner in life he likes adventure too.

I am now following you! O-o How have I not done that before? Too many blogs. Too little time. Now going to go and explore a bit more.
April 4th, 2014 at 4:15 PM
Thanks so much! I struggle with that too – too many blogs and too little time:)
Welcome
April 4th, 2014 at 4:18 PM
I’m very fond of all my bloggy friends and really enjoy the correspondence but sometimes think I should spend time talking to real people! There are just not enough hours in the day. 😦
April 4th, 2014 at 4:20 PM
I really try to do a combination of both. Sometimes I really crave solitude due to working with the public 40 hours a week.
April 4th, 2014 at 4:24 PM
Ah. Totally understand. I used to vegetate with a nice cup of tea for at least half an hour after working with challenging kids at an agricultural college all day. I didn’t want to speak or engage in any way when I got home! Now I fear I’m turning into a pale-faced geek.
April 4th, 2014 at 4:36 PM
I am sure you are doing fine:) I find myself staring down the phone when it rings some nights – ha!
April 4th, 2014 at 4:46 PM
The best response when you need a time out. Nobody knows you are there.
