When I started Findingtom.com way back in 2016, it was originally meant to be a travel blog. In May of that year, I embarked on a 25-state cross-country road trip that took me 5 months to complete.

Within that life-changing year of 2016 I learned so many lessons about relationships, myself, and personal development–many of which I still write about today.

I bring this page to you with the goal of showing you some of my earlier travel blog posts. If you’ve been to the places I mentioned, maybe we can bond together on this slice of the internet for a bit.

Below you’ll also find some of my best advice on traveling itself, as well as a healthy bit about what so many of us call “Digital Nomadism.” I hope this can be a fun place for you to get to know me better, if that’s what you want to do.
