About Us: Rhonda & Rich’s Travel Adventures

Welcome to our travel blog! I’m Rhonda, the voice behind our articles and the eye behind the camera lens. Together with Rich, my life partner and fellow explorer, we aim to inspire you to travel, embrace nature, and enjoy the adventure of discovering new places.

Meet Rhonda: The Spiritual Junkie

As a spiritual junkie, I find solace and rejuvenation in nature. Travel has been my gateway to profound peace, offering me the chance to explore the vastness of our world and gain a deeper understanding of different cultures and perspectives. For me, travel is a healing journey, a way to maintain harmony and balance in life. Exploring the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures of the United States has lifted my spirits and left me in awe of the beauty and adventure that awaits.

Meet Rich: The Adventurous Guide

Rich, my partner in both life and travel, is my guide on this incredible journey. Growing up in a military family, he developed a love for travel early on, exploring new horizons during his family’s vacations. When I found myself in a place of exhaustion and darkness, it was Rich who encouraged me to join him on his travels. This began my own healing journey through the magic of travel and adventure. Together, we have explored National Parks, State Parks, museums, churches, and countless other interesting spots across the country.

Our Journey Together

For many years, we’ve traveled together, visiting numerous destinations and even revisiting some of our favorites. While we adore our National Parks and Monuments, we also cherish the moments when we simply pull over to appreciate the natural beauty or a passing storm. Living on the edge of the foothills of the Ozarks in Missouri, we often write about local treasures too. The USA offers endless beauty, serenity, and fascinating places to explore—enough to last a lifetime.

Our Blog: Documenting Adventures & Sharing Tips

Our blog is a space where I document our adventures, share stories of past and future trips, and offer our favorite travel tips. It’s not only a way to remember our journeys but also a means to inspire you to embark on your own adventures.

We hope our stories ignite your wanderlust and encourage you to explore the wonderful United States. Join us as we continue to discover the beauty and excitement that travel brings!

Happy travels, Rhonda & Rich
