Welcome to **Free and Roaming**—a place for women who are curious, seasoned, slightly scrappy, and still asking big questions. I’m a woman who has lived a full, interesting, occasionally messy life. I’ve never been married, I’ve traveled all over the world, and I’m currently trying on a new relationship like a favorite dress—hopeful, cautious, and a little surprised it fits as well as it does. I write about travel, aging, independence, reinvention, and the quiet (and sometimes funny) truths that show up when you’ve lived long enough to know better—but still don’t have it all figured out. I’m happy, genuinely so, and I also struggle with life in the way most honest people do. Both things can be true. Travel has been my greatest teacher. It’s shown me how resilient women are, how kind the world can be, and how much freedom exists when you stop waiting for permission. I believe adventure doesn’t expire, curiosity keeps us young, and wisdom is best shared—not hoarded. This blog is for women like me: women who are roaming freely—geographically, emotionally, spiritually—or at least trying to. My hope is to offer companionship, laughter, perspective, and encouragement as we keep showing up for our own lives with courage and grace. Pull up a chair. Pack light. Stay curious. You’re welcome here. Yours in faith and fun, and still blessed to be… Free and Roaming View all posts by freeandroaming
