Fungus and Flower, Olympic National Forest, April 2010
What day is it? One day left of vacation, boo, hoo! It’s been an incredible journey and have seen and experienced so much from tulips to the Pacific Coast and vampire-mayhem in Forks to fabulous eats everywhere we’ve visited, except the night we ate at McDonald’s because there didn’t look like much else was around.
Anyway…
Unfortunately, not much time to post this morning but follow my tweets, @jenniferhuber, as I may be inclined to tweet today. I’ve also uploaded another video to my YouTube channel, this is from somewhere on the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway on Hwy. 101 in Oregon. Enjoy!
Jennifer A. Huber is an award-winning travel and outdoor blogger and writer in Southwest Florida. Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., a hiking trail led her to a career path in the tourism industry for more than 30 years. She spent a decade with a park management company in Yellowstone, Death Valley, and Everglades National Parks. She founded the travel blog, SoloTravelGirl.com with the goal of inspiring others to travel alone, not lonely.
The unexpected death of her former husband in 2008 reminded her how short life is. His passing was a catalyst for sharing her experiences with the goal of inspiring and empowering others to travel solo.
Jennifer holds a Travel Marketing Professional certification from the Southeast Tourism Society, is a certified food judge, member of the NASA Social community, and alum of the FBI Citizens Academy. When not traveling, she is either in the kitchen, practicing her photography skills, or road tripping with her dog, Radcliff.
I didn’t know her but unknowingly standing in front of her name etched in bronze, I was heavy with sadness. Blinking away tears and trying to hide them from my friend, I looked for distractions while he photographed the scenery.
During my March visit to Thailand, I tossed aside my inhibitions and danced with the Tai Dam people in Ban Na Pa Nat of the Chiang Khan district in the Loei Province. And yes, I did it without the assistance of good libations.
