“Before the miles, before the mountains, before the fear and freedom of going alone, there was simply the quiet realization that I could no longer stay where I was.”

— Deb Hazlett

Deb Hazlett spent much of her life doing what was expected of her—working hard to provide for her family, raising her children, and caring for her parents through the end of their lives. At sixty-five, she made an unexpected choice. She sold nearly everything she owned and set out alone to travel across the United States. She had no plan and no end date, just faith.

She lives in Tustin and Napa, California. She continues to travel and write.
