Ottsworld - New and Improved!

I LOVE to cross things off a list, it’s really orgasmic at times…taking the pen and marking off a goal.  This week, I was able to find that bliss…I FINALLY redesigned my ottsworld website!  However - it’s still not 100% complete - but I ran out of time and have to hop a plane today.  So [...]

Losing my Marbles – Hostage Crisis at an Airport Hotel

After nearly 11 months of travel, it finally happened – I finally reached the end of my rope. Thanks to Egypt Air and Royal Air Maroc Airlines – I nearly had a nervous breakdown that was colossal. I actually had visions of me ending up in a Moroccan jail, arrested by the airport police in [...]

Pass The Barf Bag Please; Wonderings On a Bus

 
I’m feeling a bit reflective. I haven’t felt that way for a while…or maybe it’s just been in my head and I haven’t let it out in a while. I’m on a bus in Morocco traveling between Cefchaouan and Tangier…a 4 hr bus ride from hell. It’s hot, extremely hot, the air conditioning isn’t working, [...]

Love Stinks?

Every year I have a Valentine tradition, I have a t-shirt that I wear that says “Love Stinks” in little pink rhinestones. It doesn’t necessarily reflect my feeling about Valentine’s day (yet the cynical side of me thinks that Hallmark is truly evil), instead I find the shirt humorous. I love to see people’s reactions [...]

Ottsworld Under Construction

Ottsworld Under Construction

I’ve been talking about it for a long time, and finally some progress is being made; my new website is underway!  Moving the site and all of the old posts, pictures, and comments has been quite a task.  As you can tell, it’s not fully completed yet, but I decided to cut over to it [...]

How To Survive Being A Passenger

How To Survive Being A Passenger

Check out my latest travel article on the Indie Travel Podcast site!  I’ve had many experiences with being a passenger, so I put together some things to consider before stepping onto that plane, train, bus, bike, or automobile.  Sometimes you need drugs, sometimes you need a little help from above, but most of all you [...]

Midwestern Round-Up

For the ‘best of’ my summer photography - click here!
I can’t believe it’s been 2 months. This is the longest I’ve spent in the Midwest in a long, long time. To top that off, it’s the longest I’ve stayed with family since I moved out at 18 years old. These two months have been all [...]

I grew up in the country, however I never really considered myself a ‘country girl’. Instead, I always dreamed of the big cities; that’s where I knew I belonged. The past month I have spent time in the small towns of the midwest living a ‘country’ life. It’s quiet, scenic, [...]

Travel vs. Motherhood

Travel vs. Motherhood

I’m doing a different type of travel these last few weeks. I’m traveling to catch up. Catch up to what you may ask; friends. This summer is about enjoying the cool summers of the northern US, fighting off mosquitoes, and having reunions with old friends. I’m staying with my sister and her kids at a [...]
