Hello everyone. I'm new here and just thought I'd introduce myself.
I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP). I'm a photographer (member of the National Press Photographers Association), I have a business, and I have certifications in MI and WI as a nursing assistant (CNA). I'm also a retired State of Michigan Corrections Officer.
My immediate goal is to travel the country and share with others my experiences through my website and the social medias. My goal is to leave on to explore the west, northwest, and southwest by September 1st. I'm taking three months to do this, might winter over in NM or AZ, and this may indeed become full time. So far I'm going alone. However, it sure would be nice to have a traveling companion and assistant, and if I meet a lady and we click and she's open minded enough for this venture, I'd invite her along.
My van is a '95 GMC G2500 Vandura which has a Geneva conversion. I originally bought my van in May of 2011 as a means to get away to the natural beauty here in the UP, but plans have changed and so my plans are as mentioned above, and I've been modding out my van to be my home on wheels.
My van will in-DEED be my home. I'm planning on a lot of dispersed camping and boondocking, and nights in Walmart parking lots as I travel. Campgrounds will be once a week. 'Maybe'
. When I need to work I'm sure I'll find opportunities in the health care and/or security fields. And I'm also anticipating positive finances via my photography.
Anyway, that's me, and it's nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to interacting with other members here
.
