Travel Mementos and For the Love of Travel

 A fun (I hope!) little video on how travel surrounds me even when I am in between trips. 


Happy traveling or travel planning (it's always at least one, right?)

The Career Happiness Scale....Where do you Rate?

Image
 I am often thinking of ways to improve my happiness. This is not because I am an unhappy person, but because I want to maximize joy in my life. I tend to think a lot about career (and have devoted WAY too many years to pursuing career happiness), and about finding a calling. Not everyone pursues a vocation they feel "called to"-but I have always felt a pull to lead, to guide, to help, and to heal.  I am almost 5 months into my career as a primary care nurse practitioner. I know it is not a perfect fit----I would like to think I am pretty good about knowing what I enjoy overall, but it definitely has its ups and downs. On a particularly down moment a week ago, I started questioning myself. Did 30 months of very intense schooling and clinical (and more student loans and loads of energy, sweat tears) buy me that much more career happiness? If it did (or did not) how did I even measure that? Is there a scale?  Was I happier than when I was a teacher? Than when I was working ...

Sarah Who Wanders -Travel Series Part 1: Introduction

Image
 It has been a hot minute.  Okay, in all reality, it has been almost 10 MONTHS since I have written.  I thought maybe I just stop...maybe I start a new blog when I want to write (again), then I thought nope- just write Sarah .  I have excuses (don't we all?)-I started a new career in 2021 and grad school again in 2022 and then found a job I loved and decided to stop grad school (I may be a slight quitter BUT that was my 3rd time in grad school hahaha!). All that to say: life happened. It has been grand though, really and truly.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love to travel ( which might be a HUGE understatement ). I could spend days, weeks, and months creating the perfect itinerary and months after travel reflecting on and e-scrapbooking my journey, not to even mention the complete aphrodisiac for the soul that the actual travel is. It is like breathing to me, necessary but also exquisite when I reflect on it. I am frequently in awe of God's creation in my t...

Let's Talk Travel-Part 1 (AKA in the next 37 years...)

Image
About a month ago I was seriously wanting this book we saw for sale at the Oregon Zoo. It was (of course) very marked up, and I could not bring myself to spend $35 on it. On the way home, Barrett told me he found it for over $10 less on Amazon and it would be coming soon.  (The Bucket List: 1000 Adventures Big & Small; Hardcover; Editor - Kath Stathers).  I just completed this amazing book, well the first go round that is, and was excited to share how many bucket list travel items I have actually already completed in my 37 years. I also made a detailed list of no less than 35 countries or islands and a handful of states that are on my new and improved travel bucket list. I smiled at Barrett and told him, "I think we can accomplish this in the next 35 or so years..." Ah, what a patient man. Here are some items I have done that made the list of 1,000 bucket list items all over the world. This made me soooo grateful for what I have already experienced, and I highly recom...
