Hi there, I’m Sarah! I’m 30 years old. I’m a labor and delivery nurse by trade and I adore getting to help bring tiny humans into this world. I’m a travel nurse, so I work all over the place and live in a new city every two to three months. I am OBSESSED with my job and the fact that it allows me to travel all over the country. I feed my love of travel even more by spending my days off exploring nearby areas that I would NEVER have made it to or even known about had I spent my whole life in Virginia where I’m from! What a dream 😍 In my free time (and when it’s not 2020 🙄), you can always find me at a concert, festival, or even just a bar with a good local band. I spent four years of my life working at Starbucks which cultivated a mild coffee obsession/caffeine addiction. I love to dance (badly), especially on Kesha cruises. I have a passion for LGBTQ equality, especially in healthcare. I also have an unreasonable love for glitter – sorry not sorry.
I started Adventures Of A Real Girl out of a need for a safe space to be and express myself. I loved the idea of having my own little corner that was filled with people who WANTED to be here interacting with me. I hate the term “extroverted introvert,” but that’s kind of what I am. I don’t really like social settings or lots of new people, but when I get around MY people, I come out of my shell and sparkle! I love to be around genuine people who are authentic and open minded. It took me a long time to find myself and to realize what made me the happiest, and now I just want to help share what I’ve learned along the way with people like me. Adventures Of A Real Girl is a lot of travel (both travel nursing and just travel in general!) and a little of everything else. Please feel free to connect with me on here, in my email, or on social media. I am DYING to meet you and be your friend, I’m just too awkward to make the first move 😝
*A quick note on the intention behind the name*
I spent a lot of years of my life drowning in insecurities because I didn’t fit the mold of a girly girl. I have no idea how to do what I used to consider “real girl” things (makeup, fashion, socialization, etc). I’d much rather be in a dive bar drinking beer and watching a football game while wearing my boyfriend’s clothes. Once I finally had this epiphany that none of those things made me less of a girl and really they were all part of what made me who I am, it changed my life. So, when I say “real girl,” it’s truly an ode to being whoever the fuck you want, unapologetically.
I’m so glad you decided to check out my little corner of the internet, and I can’t wait to get to know you! If you wanna keep this thing going, pop your email below and let’s hang on the regular (;
