Renting out a Room

As you know, I work in Healthcare at a Hospital.  There are lots of Healthcare workers who travel.  They usually have 13 week contracts and then move to another place to work.  They get paid nicely for traveling.  Well, I started getting my house ready to rent out a room to a traveling Healthcare worker.  I took my daughters old room.  And I added a few things to make it nicer.  Starting with a bed frame.  Her bed used to just sit on the floor.  I added Night Stands, a desk, Roku to the TV that is mounted on the wall.  I also added a mini fridge, Microwave, Coffee Pot, Toaster all on a bakers rack.  And I added pictures to the walls.  It really looks so nice.  I bought new bedding for the bed as well plus new towels.  

Last night, we had our first traveling Scrub Tech move in.  I am hopeful this will be a good experience.  And I have one more room in my house that I am almost done getting ready to rent out as well.  

I've had some people amazed that I am giving up privacy and space.  First off, I switched my front door lock to a number lock key pad.  And the scrub tech gets his own code for the front door.  That way I do not have to worry about a key to my house being out there and able to have a new key made.  I also have put new door knobs on all bedroom doors where there are key locks on all the doors.  And lastly, I feel safer having my 25 year old living here at the house with me.  He does a great job of helping me with the house and helping me feel safer.

Alexandra Kay

When I found out about the divorce, I heard about this Country Music Artist named, Alexandra Kay.  She went through a divorce herself and wrote a whole album about her experiences.  It became my staple when listening to music.  I could not get enough.  I connected with her and her music.  Although there was one vast difference, she left her husband where mine left me.   One day, she posted that she was going on tour again.  She was going to Colorado Springs.  That was the closest thing to Salt Lake City.  I tossed around the idea of going out there.  And when it came time for tickets to go on sale, I bought that concert ticket.  Then I booked my flight, car rental and hotel.  I could not believe I was going to this.  I guess that is one thing about being divorced.  I decide what I am going to do and when.  And I decided just to do it.  (kind of similar to my Germany trip I took in February).   I have wo...

Welcome to The Traveling Wheels Blog

 Hi!  I am new here.  Well, not really new to the blogging world.  But it has been a good 13 years since I did that.  My name is Tamara.  I have always had a passion for traveling.  When I was in middle school, I remember we were to pick out careers we wanted to go into.  I chose a Flight Attendant.  I never did become that flight attendant,  I have toyed over the last couple years if I want to pursue that still.  But right now, I need to stay put and be a mom while my youngest finishes out High School.  So I never say never.  But I did work for an airline and also for a Travel Agency before I had kids. Like I said, I love all things travel.  I have traveled to many countries.  I even lived abroad for almost 8 years.  I love to cruise.  I have lost count on how many I have been on.  I do road trips, camping.  I just love being out and about seeing this beautiful world.  If I go hiking, yo...
