A living journal by Lisa McIntyre

On this site is where I share my unique lifestyle of living “outside the box” by sharing my personal journey to a fulfilling life.

It’s about you, too. You have a story to share with others  also. I’ll find people along my travels to write about so you can dive into their lives, if only for a moment. We can learn from eachother.

I’ve learned that being stuck behind a desk in a cubicle doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried to do this over the years and nearly died inside.

With an unwavering desire to see and feel the wonder “out there”, I wander with purpose from place to place to witness the simplicities and complexities of daily life.

The wanderlust-bug bit me on a scooter ride along the sunlit shoreline of Cozumel in 2006.  I knew in that moment, how I wanted to live my life and I had to find a way. If other people could do it, so could I.

Since then I’ve hit the backroads of 49 glorious American states, travelled coast-to-coast in Canada from Victoria Island, British Columbia  in the west to St. John’s, Newfoundland in the east. I’ve ferried across the English Channel under a full moon and salsa danced in Havana, Cuba.

 What’s next?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
