About Me

Hello! My name is Coleen and I am happy you stopped by my site! I am currently a full-time medical professional, but I am starting to make plans for my life after medicine. After considering several options (culinary school, working on a cruise ship, writing novels, among other things), I decided to devote my time to travel writing. This is something I can do now while I am still working in medicine, and devote more and more time to as I phase out the medical career. Everyone who knows me IRL knows I won’t ever be happy in retirement without some goal or goals to pursue. It isn’t in my nature to just relax for the sake of relaxing!

I have always loved travel, and it has always been in my game plan to travel as much as possible in retirement. Even working full-time, I travel often, so I can get this blog off the ground in preparation for this transition. I also hope to integrate my love of food into this blog, both as it relates to my travels, as well as locally here in Pittsburgh. I might even post some of my favorite recipes from time to time!

Lastly, but to me the MOST important, I am the mother to five wonderful children and one absolutely precious grandchild. Some of my adventures will involve them–either visiting them or traveling with them–so you will get to know them over the years too!

Thanks for stopping by and getting to know me. I’d love to get to know you too! Please leave a comment, or email me at cgwheeler1127@gmail.com! If you have any suggestions for improvement or content, I love the input!
