Attention, Readers

We’re two writers who took on the Emerald Isle and Caledonia. Some months later, we marched the cobblestone pavements of Boston and Salem. Katie, then, ventured solo to London! After a year off, we are brainstorming the next endeavor for the new decade. The Voyagers assure you every little tidbit is on here! It’s just that there’s still a bit of a tech learning curve.

As writers, we are also readers. Readers of everything we can get our hands on. From historical fiction to creative non-fiction, we find inhalation at every turn. After graduating from The Ohio State University, both of us with a B.A. in English & Creative Writing, we were looking for our next great escapade. With our wanderlust natures, it’s instinctive that all our readings instill a strong desire to visit the places we touched only in our reader minds. And thus, our little blog of documenting adventures has been born! Join us on our next big adventure as we drift towards uncharted territory!
