My name is MaryFran and I absolutely love to travel and explore new places.  I especially enjoy history, so if my travels allow me to see something historical, I'm even happier.  I love to share my adventures with others so that they too can enjoy my exploration and travels. 


 I  write a blog about my weight loss efforts and my attempt to lose well over 100 pounds.  I post frequently about my success and failures on that venture at my website, Beliefinmyself.com.  While I refer to that website here and there, this is the place where I can share my adventures and explorations of this amazing world that we live in!

I currently work a 9-5 job  That job does restrict some of my other pursuits.  But,  I still get out and explore as much as I can locally and enjoy spreading my wings and going further away when the opportunity arises.  I would love to have more time to travel and explore!   I travel with the love of my life, Jason who is just as happy exploring and is adding as many items on the 'we have to go there' list as I do.  It doesn't matter if it's something he chooses or something that I have chosen, we both enjoy it to the fullest.  


Product Reviews
Years ago, I learned that I love to write honest and transparent reviews.  I started by writing reviews on tripadviser.com.  There, I was able to review the various places that we have visited.  Over the years I expanded to writing occasional reviews on my personal blog and on Amazon and through this website.   I strive to be fair, open and honest in my reviews.

We currently live in Frederick, MD with our spoiled rotten cat, crazy funny (and spoiled) parrot, 3 hermit crabs and one betta fish.  We are always looking for our next adventure and hope you join us as we live our lives to the fullest!
