Welcome to The GloveTrotters website (Stuart, Ramie, Sean, Tiana & Grandma Isaka)! We are active family travelers who have been exploring the world since our kids could successfully place one foot in front of the other. While opportunities for all of us to travel together are becoming rarer, Stuart and I continue our adventures, now as active boomer travelers.
We were inspired to begin this blog when we first moved to North Carolina and were mesmerized by how well it fit our active lifestyle. For the past eight years North Carolina was our beloved home base and we extensively explored and shared our discoveries across the Tar Heel State. While many of our articles do focus on the incredible experiences we had there – from visiting the Outer Banks, the great cities of Raleigh and Charlotte, waterfall chasing in the western part of the state, climbing our beloved Chimney Rock and the zoos and parks – our journey has always been about embracing new places.
We recently made the professional decision to relocate, and while we loved every moment of living in North Carolina, we are now thrilled to call Florida our new home. This move marks another exciting chapter, and we’ve settled in with the “we’ve moved yet again but Florida will be our final base” attitude! Having lived in California, Connecticut, Idaho, North Carolina and now Florida, we’ve always taken advantage of every opportunity to travel, not just locally but also overseas. We’re now eager to explore all that Florida and the southeastern United States have to offer, adding new perspectives to our global adventures.
We’d love to help you find your next travel adventure, so please take advantage of our Free Resources page and download our popular guides like 101 Things to Do in NC, 90 Things to Do on NC’s Outer Banks and our latest 36 Must-See Attractions in St. Augustine – treasures from our time as North Carolina residents that continue to inspire fellow travelers.
Travel is Life!
