My Nomad Journey – Friends I Visited

This post has been a long time coming and will be a very short one. When I started on my Nomad adventure in November 2024, I had big plans, with multiple stops to visit friends along the way. I realized after a few stops that I never asked them for permission to talk about them in the Substack posts. As a result, I decided to keep them “private” in each of my monthly posts, out of respect for their privacy.

Now that the first planned part of my Nomad adventure is complete, I have reached out to my friends and asked their permission to acknowledge all of them from my visits. Below are all of the friends I was able to visit and/or stay with during my travels around the perimeter of the country in 2024 and 2025. I just want to take a moment to acknowledge each of you by first name and feature one photo of us (if I have it) to show what an amazing group of friends I have! (NOTE: There may be a few places I forgot to get a selfie of us, dammit!)

• Shelly in Arizona
• Kim and family in Texas
• David, Cate & Tammy in Texas (I missed getting a group photo of us! I’m so sorry!)
• Jody and Dorothy in Texas
• Kris in Texas
• Naa in Louisiana (Another missed selfie opportunity – I’m so bummed!)
• Heidi in Georgia
• Daniel & Sophia in Florida
• Jennifer in Florida
• Mary Beth in Florida
• Angela in North Carolina
• Reem in Washington DC
• Eloise and board members in New Jersey
• Austin in New Jersey
• Michael in New Jersey
• Alexis in New Jersey
• Linda and Gene in New York

• Daniel and Chuck in Colorado (Another missed photo opportunity! Ugh!)
• Risa in Colorado (We totally missed getting a selfie and we were so bummed!)

(NOTE: I tried to get the photos in order as much as possible. 😁 And the larger pictures at the bottom are just a Substack formatting thing based on how many pics are in a gallery. Don’t get big heads because you have a bigger photo. LOL!)

And let’s not forget the pets!

• Riley in Texas
• Bella in Georgia

As always, please interact with this post. I love getting your questions, your thoughts, and your comments. I’ll reply when I’m able.
