Michelle's WalkAbout
She who wanders is CERTAINLY not lost!
My Story
Greetings and welcome! My name is Michelle. I am a single woman in my mid-50’s and I call Washington home. This web site exists as I plan to spend most of 2019 on “walkabout”. What does that mean, you ask? That means I quit my job, sold many of my belongings (including my house), and am traveling around the US. I live on the road, out of my Jeep, in a tent. I camp, hike, explore, and volunteer. In between all that, I visit family and friends.
The path that got me here and the journey I am on will be logged on this web site. Please, I invite you to look around and give my story a read. Heck, even leave comments and/or suggestions if you are so inclined.
I do not have all the answers, and often I have lots of questions. I did a lot of planning to get here, but that does not mean I have it all down. I am using this space to keep track of my journey, exchange feedback with others, and as a central repository for loved ones to know where I am and what I am up to.
My support team is amazing and always with me.
Cheers to you for visiting and I hope to see you on the road.

Good Vibrations
I need to tell you something. Something that is new for me. Something that I do not recall ever feeling. Something that is exciting and somewhat unfamiliar. Something I did not really think was attainable. I know that I am on the right path,…
Self-Defense and Training
I have been training in BJJ – Brazilian Jujitsu – for about six months now. Let me tell you how difficult this was to undertake, but how rewarding it has become. It started with self-defense. My para-military-safety-personal-protection-expert-friend trained me in firearms. I have very…
Set, Ready, Go!
I decided I am ready. Yup. I am excited, ready and want to get the hell out of dodge. No hesitation, no doubt, no fear. Damned the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Let’s DO THIS! I am home on a non-Holiday Monday. I needed just…
