I am a big fan of Game of Thrones and I too do not look forward to the long winter that is coming. Living in the far north, with long and very cold winters has been my life since I was born. I have always dreamed of living in a warm place with sandy beaches and warm winters. Until now that was not a possibility. Being born and raised in the small town of Littlefork, MN I am a mid-west girl that really has not seen much of the world other than through a TV screen. Both of my parents are hard working people and have taught me to work hard for what you get. My parents never had the money to take us on a vacation beyond fishing and camping trips every summer. I always new i wanted to see more of what the world had to offer. After completing high school I was determined to leave my home and create an opportunity that would give me a way out. 4 years later, I have graduated the University of Minnesota in Duluth with my BA in Sociology . I plan to look for work in somewhere much warmer then Minnesota. My thoughts are California but I want to explore the country first and see whee it is that I really want to start my career. The 4 years I was in college I worked a full-time job during school. During the summer months I kept my full-time job and picked up a second job at Grandma's Saloon and Grill on the Duluth Pier. Fortunately, I was able to live with my Aunt Jane and uncle Thomas in the spare room they had at their place. This allowed me to save up quiet a bit of money for the vacation I am about to embark on. Today I Hit The RoadWith my car already packed, I was ready to hit the road as soon as I woke up. My mom insisted that I have breakfast with the family before I hit the road. I am glad that i did since I did not plan to be back for about a year, or longer. I was going to miss seeing my mom and dad but I also knew they were only a phone call away.
So after breakfast I fit the road toward California. But my first stop would be Bismark, ND
