Traveling has been a passion of Nancy Panitch’s life and she loves seeing how people in other cultures live. Her travels have taken her to many places within the United States, Asia, Europe, South America, Africa and Antarctica. Being around people inspires her and she has much gratitude for the kindred Souls that are joining together with her in body, mind, and heart.

She moved from Chicago to Portland, Oregon in 1982. It was one of the best decisions of her life. While in Portland she stays very, VERY busy. She volunteers (Inter-Religious Action Network, Human Rights Council, & ushering for various theaters); attends a Unitarian Universalist church; goes hiking with groups (Cascade Prime Timers & Trails Club of Oregon) and also with individual friends. Book groups, movie group, and bridge groups occupy her time as well. Her quiet activities include yoga, knitting, Sudoku, and reading. She enjoys all of these activities, but making time to see her wonderful 4 grandchildren takes priority over it all.

She is happy to share this blog and hopes to encourage others to travel.
