The Tomboy

Eating my way through Hawai’i (2013)

Thanks for checking out my blog!

I’m Quan. I’d say that I’m on the road at least every few weeks for work and and fun.  In the process, I get exposed to a lot of funny, weird and (occasionally) moving thoughts about travel that are bursting from my head.

I’ve been traveling since I was tiny, tiny. I’m the product of an Asian-American marriage, born in Italy and stationed around the world while my father was in the military. I think that traveling is one of the best ways to live and learn about life. (It doesn’t hurt that my husband is a history teacher and gives me the historical low-down, too.)  Moving from

station to station didn’t always leave me with steady playmates.  Instead – sports, getting into trouble and outside play have been my support system – thus, I’m a tomboy.

I started this blog for a few reasons. One,because I wanted to replace the moleskin travel journals that I’ve been keeping for decades. Two, because like any art, I need to work on my writing skills.  And Three, because I might get the chance to meet really cool people in the process of this blog.

Unlike some other travel blogs, I don’t have the luxury of staying in one place for that long. I dream of the day that I can do that, but for now it’s all about in & out trips (especially while working)  or the limited time that I can get away from the office.
