My career as a travel nurse has lead me all over the country, especially the West Coast. Coming from Alabama, I have had to plan everything I do and explore using Google Maps. I stay in one area for a few months, thoroughly getting to know the town before leaving for somewhere new. My unique viewpoint as a long-term traveler lets me ask myself everywhere I go, “If my friends or family came to see me, would I recommend this place? If I was coming here sight unseen, what would I want to know?”
While I know that writing down my experiences and recommendations helps communities and businesses grow and adapt, it’s also helping me personally by highlighting what I really look for in an experience. Is it the ambiance of the cafe on an early Saturday morning? Or do I prefer the hustle and bustle of a diner on a weekday? I’ve learned so much about myself and my travel style through putting my thoughts into words on Google Maps, and look forward to continuing to make a difference for others, too.
