About Meg, Travel Blogger

I LOVE to travel and use every bit of my vacation time to explore our beautiful planet.

Truth be told, it wasn’t always that way.

Like many Americans, I wasn’t using all of my vacation time each year. When I did use it, the time was spent getting things done around the house.

Who am I kidding? I was probably Netflix and chillin’ half the time.

And the travel planning process wasn’t always fun, either. It was either too time-consuming, stressful, expensive, or anxiety-inducing.

So as much as I yearned to travel, I wasn’t doing much of it.

In 2012, all of that changed…

Out of the blue, my youngest sister passed away. Her death was unexpected and led to a lot of anxiety and survivor’s guilt.

I spent a good year or so in a fog, wandering around like a zombie (but not the cool kind, like on The Walking Dead).

A year later, just as I was starting to claw my way out of that funk, I nearly lost my life due to a bilateral massive pulmonary embolism (blood clots in both lungs).

My sister’s sudden death and my own near-death experience made me resolve to NEVER let anything prevent me from getting to all the places on my ever-expanding travel bucket list.

Just a few months after my PE, I touched down in Sri Lanka, determined to travel whenever and wherever I could. 

But the universe had other plans, yet again…

Not long after returning from Sri Lanka, I started experiencing debilitating pelvic pain after my period. 

It was so bad that I was bedridden anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks every single month. Eventually I was diagnosed with suspected endometriosis.

Despite the setback in my health, I was determined to get better so I could get back to tackling my travel dreams.

After tons of research and countless medical appointments, I traveled to Atlanta, GA, for life-changing laparoscopic excision surgery by the team from The Center for Endometriosis Care.

Surgery confirmed that I had severe stage 4 endometriosis and the team of surgeons who worked on me spent nearly 5 hours removing endo lesions, adhesions, fibroids, and ovarian cysts, as well as my appendix, a fallopian tube, and part of my small and large bowel.

Recovery was tough to say the least. I was out of work for 2 months and spent nearly a year in physical therapy and other follow-up appointments.

But I didn’t let this setback take over…

During my recovery, I kept my spirits up by planning out a few trips that I had always dreamed of taking so that I could hit the ground running as soon as I was physically able to travel.

And you know what? I found that travel planning doesn’t have to be time-consuming, stressful, expensive, or anxiety-inducing. 

In fact, I found that I liked the planning process. 

But how’d you go from hating travel planning to loving it, you ask?

Let me give you a hint: technology is your friend.

I’m sure you agree that technology and the internet have changed the way many things work – often for the better.

During my recovery, I found that was most certainly the case when it came to planning and booking vacations.

And I figured, if I could do a 180, so could others. So I decided to start a blog to share my travel planning tips and guides.

On March 29, 2016, Frost + Sun went live.

Since then, I’ve been using up ALL of my vacation time to travel the world.

Any spare time I have, I use it to blog about how to make travel easy, affordable, and fun by using everyday technology.

Now that I’ve been running Frost + Sun for over 5 years, I’ve started sharing tips about blogging and Pinterest marketing to help fellow bloggers share their hopes, dreams, and wisdom with the internet, too.

I hope you’ll stick around to learn all of my tips and tricks so you can start traveling the world with ease and blog about it, too!
