Julie, Earth Trekkers

I grew up in Maryland and attended the University of Maryland, earning a degree in Biology. I was a triple jumper on the University of Maryland track team, and this is where I met Tim, who was also an athlete on the track team.

After college, I spent a few years living in New Jersey, where I went to graduate school to become a physician assistant. For 15 years, I worked as a physician assistant in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, right up to the point where we started our one year trip around the world.

I traveled very little the first 35 years of my life, taking some road trips on the east coast, quick trips to Canada, Colorado, and California, and visiting a few Caribbean islands.
