The Tomboy
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.
I hope that you enjoy my musings, comments and rants. Click on the link on the right to follow my blog!

Sounds good! Let me know! 🙂
At the moment, we are still a private blog, that means, I need to invite you. For that I need your username. You find your username in your dashboard->users->all users. It’s not necessarily the name next to your Gravatar or your blog’s name.

“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.” — I can relate to this so much! When I travel, I would love nothing more than to do it “properly” and just stay in a place long enough to feel what it’s like to actually live there. But I have responsibilities that I can’t leave behind, that I don’t WANT to leave behind. There’s a push and pull between being on the road and being home…but it’s a good conflict to have. 🙂
I completely agree. At least we have the opportunity and means to travel. So many people don’t. We lead blessed lives.
Hello! Thank you for liking my blog post. I agree with you 100% about learning and polishing skills. Both travel and blogging are good for that. I look forward to reading your upcoming posts.
Thanks, Melissa! Love your great photos!! 🙂
What a wonderful blog you have here, Quan! I’ve always dreamed of a job that would make me travel, and it looks like you have my kinda dream job here 🙂 Looking forward to follow your adventures!
Thanks! I try to often remind myself how lucky I am – and blogging helps. I’m looking forward to following your adventures, too!
Very nice, enjoyable read ! Keep the good work.
