Welcome to My Blog!

Hello World!

My name is Coleen and I would like to welcome you to my new website and blog! As I reach the end of my medical career, I have been considering what I would like to do in retirement. Travel is a given, but I am the type of person who can’t just travel without a specific purpose. After considering several options, I have decided to become a Travel Writer. My retirement from Medicine is still a decade or so away, but I plan to get my feet wet in travel writing through this blog while I learn the ins and outs of my new “twilight” career. A huge shout out to Great Escape Publishing for their home study course. I can’t wait to attend their Travel Writing Conference in Austin, TX this September!

I am still working full-time, but I travel as often as I can–usually 4 times a year, sometimes more. I plan to blog about these trips, as well as preparations for trips, how to pack efficiently, and my culinary adventures both locally and abroad. I hope that you enjoy this site and I welcome comments and feedback, as well as suggestions for topics or areas of improvement. This is my first official website, though I’ve blogged on other platforms before, so there is a bit of a learning curve with figuring things out. Hopefully, by the time I am ready to blog about my trip to Europe next month, I will have it down pat!

Bienvenue! Enchante!
