Travel is a journey, not a destination! See where the adventure takes you!
A BIT ABOUT ME
Traveling is my passion! I taught high school Geography and International Relations for over 20 years. I've been to all 50 states in the U.S. and 48 countries, even lived and worked in one - Kuwait. I've kept journals throughout the years and started writing travel stories on this blog back in 2021.
​​
My desire in sharing with you is to empower women to travel more - solo or in small groups. I’ll show you it's not about always knowing what you’re doing or having bottomless financial pockets, but being open to the experience and trusting yourself and humanity. People want you to fall in love with their home and have memorable stories to share with your friends/family. As a retired teacher, I miss sharing my travel adventures with my students, inspiring them to explore the world. So now I share them with you, “Let’s travel.”
​
I hope you enjoy browsing my site and all of the unique content I have to offer. Along with the free travel stories I offer travel consulting through my business, Tanis Trips, that comes with complimentary, comprehensive travel guides. Take a look around; perhaps you’ll discover a place that inspires you as well. Read on and enjoy!

MY TRAVELS SO FAR
How did I get stared traveling? I followed a boy on a cross-cultural trip to the hills of Jamaica when I was 18. Well, almost. He cancelled at the last minute, but I went with the group anyway. It was a formative experience, especially this shower! Since then
* Solo trip to Western Europe after college for 2 months
*Numerous road trips around the U.S. - cars, camping, motorcycles
*Many scuba diving trips to the Caribbean and Central America
*Trip to Uganda with the Rock School Foundation
*Six week New Zealand and Australia trip to ski and scuba
*Trips to Europe with EF Educational Tours and high school students
*Trips with friends to Southeast Asia, Turkey, Morocco, Portugal, India
*Trips with couples to Japan, Greece, Costa Rica
*Trips with my partner to Czechia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Chile
*Worked in Kuwait with side trips to Oman, Bahrain, UAE, Egypt
*Stored all my stuff in a 8-foot POD, bought a Toyota Tundra with my partner and did an overlanding trip for 18 month around North America. No camper, just a roof top tent, inflatable boats and bikes. Alaska to Key West, with overseas trips to Panama and Greece tossed into the mix.
