Traveling alone, not lonely.

Finding My Footing Following Hurricane Irma

Rainbow Over the Peace River in Charlotte Harbor, Fla., on Sept. 11, 2017, the Day After Hurricane Irma.

Hurricane Irma ripped through Florida last week which meant I spent the week prior and week after the storm, preparing and surviving. Now, I’m ready to begin living again while finding my footing in finding normalcy. More posts to follow and wanted to drop a line to say I’m still here!

Learning to Crack Crabs during Peace River Seafood’s Blue Crab University

At Peace River Seafood & Botanicals in Punta Gorda, Blue Crab University turns a Monday night into a hands-on lesson in Southwest Florida crabbing culture. From crab biology and local history to blue crab cornbread and all-you-can-eat steamed crabs, the inaugural class delivers a uniquely Old Florida experience. I left with my Masters in Crabology.
