My name is Shawn; I was born in western Pennsylvania, where I spent most of my early years living.  I only traveled a few times out of state as a child, but I always had an interest in exploring.  After high school, I moved down to Myrtle Beach, where I still live to this day.  Work-wise, I spent over 20 years in the nightclub business as a bartender, barback, and manager.  I consider myself to have more qualities of an introvert than an extrovert person and will see signs of that in my travel blog. 

I live with one rule in life, “Treat people the way you would want to be treated,” which simply for me means to have respect for everyone.  I’m a minimalist where experiences carry more value than excess material things in life.
