About

Hello!  I’m Leigh, a 35 year old wanderlusting, bona fide travel addict. I’m also a certified WellCoach and am passionate about keeping healthy both physically and mentally. Part of being ‘well’, means having meaning in your life, reaching for your dreams, and taking risks.  raveling can help with this. It can transform your life. Often in ways you’d never expect.

This blog is about my life, my experiences and travel. When I first started traveling, I was terribly shy and reserved. I was terrified at the thought of striking up a conversation with a stranger or even trying a new class. Over the years, as I’ve traveled around, I’ve become much more open, adventurous, and outgoing. Each trip pushes me out of my comfort zone and teaches me things about myself I would have never learned in my normal everyday routine. I now look at travel not just as a chance to get away, but as a way to learn ways to live my everyday life differently.

Journeying to unknown places is an accelerated path to learning more about yourself and the world we live in. Plus, it’s is the most fun way to become more adventurous! And come on, we all could use  a little more adventure, right? Other tidbits about me:

• I’m passionate about nutrition and wellness and currently am based in beautiful Raleigh, NC.
• I quit my cubicle job in May of 2009 to travel for six months.
• My favorite destination so far is Spain, all of it.
• One of my favorite things to do is encourage people to design a healthy lifestyle filled with things they love to do.
• I have not worn a watch in years. It helps me to be even more spontaneous

You can start your life fresh any time your want. Travel can help because it forces change upon you.  Help to open you up, test you, heal you, entertain you, energize you and teach you. And anyone can do it. Regardless of money, age, obligations, or fear. Whether it’s a life changing trip to Brazil, or simply spending the day at that nearby park you’ve been meaning to visit, travel is about movement. Remaining stagnant and locked in routine can stunt your growth as an individual. Travel opens you up and breathes fresh air into your life.
