Welcome to Life is a Journey on Substack! 🎉
I am thrilled to share my stories, life experiences, photos, and videos with you through this weekly newsletter. Over the years, I have shared my adventures on social media, published a book, and sent countless emails to friends, family, colleagues, and fellow travelers.
My goal for launching Life is a Journey is to continue exploring the world with you. Let’s take a walk in the forest, paddle in a lake, float along a river, and enjoy all that life has to offer. Together, we can build a community where we share our life lessons, fun trips and outings, delicious food and restaurants, and philosophical views about the world we live in.
So join me here every week for new adventures and let’s plan a trip together soon! 🌍
Summer of Fun! ☀️
This summer has been packed with adventures in Oregon and Washington, a trip to Maine and Massachusetts for my daughter’s wedding and residency graduation, a weekend in San Francisco with my son, and local outings with family and friends.
Stay tuned for upcoming newsletters where I’ll share more about the stunning rivers, mountains, and waterfalls of Washington and Oregon. You won’t want to miss my visit to the beautiful Rose Garden in Portland, or my ferry trip to Angel Island where I took a mountain bike tour and enjoyed breathtaking views of the Bay.
So buckle up and get ready for more exciting adventures in the next edition of Life is a Journey! 🚵♀️
