I'm a single mom with two kiddos, Iz and T. I'm also a Historical Archaeology graduate student... so... as of recently I've been traveling... a LOT. Well, my stepdad suggested a blog because I do Instagram and Facebook, and I journal... but a blog would give my kids, family, and friends free access to basically a travel journal of sorts while I'm gone. So, here we are.
I'm leaving to go do my thesis fieldwork in 27 days (EEKK!!!) and I'll be bouncing around Scandinavia for two months working on that. My thesis is looking at nålbinding textiles and how they have changed over time (there's a much more formal academic way to say that, but basically, that's what I'm currently working on). I've been invited to look at the textiles that were recovered with the 17th-century Swedish warship Vasa and asked to help document them. I've also gotten permission to visit several sites and access materials in and around Scandinavia. So, this blog will be following that adventure.
I really hope you enjoy following along on my travels, I'll try and update regularly... but I'm not quite sure how regularly is enough. So, if you wouldn't mind dropping a comment and letting me know how often you'd like to hear from me, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks for joining me!
