About

Hi, I’m Roxie—an X-ray tech by day, travel blogger by night, and most importantly, a mom and wife.

This blog was born out of a very personal mission: to encourage people to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start living while they can. That mindset didn’t come from reading a quote or watching a movie. It came from experience—painful, life-altering experience.

Over the years, I’ve lost several people I love—some far too young. The most heartbreaking was the unexpected passing of my 18-year-old son back in 2018. That kind of loss doesn’t just break your heart—it breaks your soul. It strips away the illusion that we have all the time in the world and leaves you seeing life differently. You realize how fragile everything is—and how sacred every single moment truly becomes.

At first, I started traveling because I didn’t know what else to do. I needed to move. I needed to breathe. I needed space. But somewhere along the way, travel became more than just an escape—it became a way to heal my soul.

Now, travel is how I reconnect—with the world, with myself, and with what matters most. It’s how I honor the people I’ve lost—by living fully. And I share it all here in the hope that it sparks something in you too: the courage to stop waiting and start truly living.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or like you’re just going through the motions—this space is for you. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a soul-stirring adventure, I hope you find the courage to stop postponing joy. Take the trip. Make the memories. Say yes.

Because the truth is, we don’t always get later.

Let’s get out and see the world—
