Travels with My Mortgage
My blog is called Travels With My Mortgage because my one consistent travel companion in the last 11 years has always been my house payment. I didn’t start traveling extensively until I was in my early-30s, after my husband I had bought a house and we had a monthly payment. Behind all my travel stories around the world is a wonderful home, a finanical obligation, and decisions about how we can budget our lives so that I could follow my passion.
How One Couple Brought Health Care to Haiti
In May 2016, when I heard the news of the doctors’ strike taking place in Haiti, my heart sank. Doctors, nurses and medical residents had been on strike since March as they protested low wages and demanded better working conditions, leading to the shutdown of Haiti’s largest hospitals. And now, as the news of the devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew floods in from Haiti, ever more families need access to health care and medicine as quickly as possible.
