About
Hi. I’m Mary.
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m awesome.
I am a 24 year old who loves writing, traveling, and helping others. I spend a lot of time online connecting with cool people and exploring the internet. I’m a blogger and a freelance writer. I spend most of my days researching and writing content for the web. But you probably already guessed that since you are here reading my blog.
I’ve lived in: Franklin, Tn; Grantham, NH; Millington, TN; Memphis, TN; Jackson, TN; Salzburg, Austria; Cordova, TN, Ludlow, VT, and Auckland, New Zealand. I travel a lot but clearly I’m a Southern girl, because I always end up coming back home to Tennessee.
As of August 2010 I now live in New Zealand! I’m on a working holiday visa but I plan to stay here permanently as I’m engaged to a kiwi.
I’ve worked for a nonprofit, a newspaper, a cotton museum, a library, a college, a clothing store, a city parks and recreation department, a womens’ weight loss retreat and more recently for myself as a professional blogger. I graduated college with a history degree and writing awards but decided not to pursue that line of work. Although I love museums and studying the past I’m much more interested in the present and future. Hence my obsession with the web.
I’ve been blogging for several years on a variety of platforms and now write several personal blogs: this one about traveling and blogging, a much more popular healthy living and weight loss blog, a healthy food blog, and also a wedding planning blog. I’ve been online sharing my thoughts and experiences through blogging since the age of 13 when I got my first computer in my house after many years of begging. Almost every aspect of my life is overly documented via the web.
Why this blog?
I started this blog so I could have a space online for all the stray bits that float around out there. A home base of sorts since everything I do is scattered across the web. This blog is about my adventures and the things I know. Most of the topics I write about are some combination of travel, lifestyle design, internet/blogging/online income, and working on my life list. I also have a list of things I want to do before I die and the desire to make sure they are all documented. This blog is a chronicle of my journey to live boldly, experience life without restraints, and be HAPPY.
