I’m a solo female traveler whose soul is consumed with wanderlust. To abandon fear of the unknown and explore. Though my world travel may be small now. I am only getting warmed up. There is a big world and my camera and I hope to capture what I can. I’m so glad you found me. I’m Tabitha, Ohio born and raised and then moved at 19 to Nashville, TN.
I own a tech business. I love to travel and wanted an outlet from the stress and even growing up I was fascinated by maps, often creating future trip plans around the country so as I was able to afford to travel, my trips have exploded. Being an introvert, nature and more specifically Mountains have been therapy for the soul. I have lots of interests like storm chasing, the paranormal, famous graves, astronomy, botany, pretty much if it involves the earth, it is interesting to me.
Goals would be to travel full-time or at least for a few years. To see what living as a nomad would be like. I could see myself living in Colorado or Oregon with nature opportunities nearby. For now, I do a trip roughly every 3 months from Spring to October and work the busy season at the HQ in Nashville.
Travel Stats
Over the rivers, to the oceans, in the cities, the mountains. Despite everything I’ve seen, there seems to be much more left to see. It is what makes travel so much fun, so hard to see it all but I give it a solid try. I can’t wait to go to Europe someday.

Travel Highlights
Extreme / Interesting Geographical Points
Take the ultimate road trip and see less known areas like the far corners and extreme points of the United States such as the northernmost, as well as the center and other interesting points of the United States and North America.
Offbeat, Unusual and Unique Roadside Attractions
Less sought out destinations that I find interesting like interesting town names, headquarters of large companies, headwaters / confluence of major rivers, Continental Divides, major historical spots, and World’s largest…

All 50 State Welcome Road Signs & Canadian Province Signs.
Tristate Markers, State High Point, State Corners
There are sixty-one places where three states come together at a common point, and I’ve been to many. Each state has a high point and I’ve been to some of them as well. I also included some interesting state corners and the geographical center of some states.
Famous & Infamous Gravesites
From names like Lucille Ball, Walt Disney, Mark Twain, Elvis, to country singers like Johnny Cash, George Jones to inventors like the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, historical figures like Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton to infamous people like Jesse James, Wild Bill and many, many more. They lived extraordinary lives and I often find no one is around their final resting spots.
Storm Chasing
When most sane people go indoors, us storm chasers will drive thousands of miles in hopes of seeing a tornado or at least a good storm. Here is an intro into storm chasing.

Tabitha’s Favorite Places
Beautiful places are everywhere but here are my favs.
1. Banff & Jasper National Parks
Located in Alberta, an easy drive from Calgary to Banff. You can drive the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The Icefields Parkway is truly one of the most scenic drives you can do. You can drive by numerous blue mountain lakes and even glaciers. Moraine Lake is a must see, Lake Louise is very popular. Take a boat tour on Maligne Lake to Spirit Island. Being so far north the sunsets after 10pm and rises very early in June.
2. Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Park
Geysers like Old Faithful, hot springs, beautiful waterfalls like Grand Cayong of Yellowstone and mountain scenes. My favorite place in America to go. I’ve been there 5 times. Morman row in Grand Teton gives you lots of photographic material. There are lots of wildlife to see.
3. New England in the Fall
A postcard view everywhere. Truly a must see at least once in Fall. My itineraries show more specifics but some great places are Maine with Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park. New Hampshire with the White Mountains and Mount Washington and Vermont with the Green Mountains and Jenne farm near Reading.
4. Yosemite National Park
Beautiful views, I’ve been there 3 times so far. The most memorable experience was the “Firefalls” for a few weeks in February the sun sets at the right angle off El Capitan to make horsetail falls glow like lava for a few minutes. Hundreds of photographers come for this optical illusion every year.
5. Fairbanks, Alaska
All of Alaska is beautiful but if you fly into Fairbanks then check out Denali National Park and Preserve. Take a trip up the Dalton Highway aka Ice Road Trucker road towards the Arctic Circle. Very beautiful drive. Though I haven’t photographed the Northern Lights, it sounds like Fairbanks is the place to be to see them.
6. Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio
Part of the reason it is my favorite place is I grew up going there so it holds sentimental value. Beyond memory lane, it is a beautiful place. Old Man’s Cave and its upper and lower falls. Cedar Falls and Ash Cave are great places to check out. You have Rock House and Conkles Hollow and Rockbridge Natural Bridge. All fairly close to each other. I like camping at Hocking Hills State Park and spending at least 2 days hiking and taking photos.
