Grief has a way of shrinking the world.

After losing her husband—and years later, her son—Tammy found herself unsure how to move forward. Fear threatened to keep her small.

Instead, she chose something unexpected: a plane ticket.

Travel became the doorway to healing.

In Life Begins with Travel, Tammy sets out alone to see the northern lights in Iceland—and begins rediscovering the beauty of life. From Caribbean waters to national parks, from tropical storms to unpredictable misadventures, each journey becomes part of her emotional recovery.

Through laughter, challenges, and moments of awe, she begins to see that God’s presence can be found even in unfamiliar places.

This uplifting memoir explores:

  • Healing after loss
  • Courage in the face of fear
  • Faith discovered through adventure
  • Rediscovering joy after sorrow

Sometimes the path to healing begins with stepping into the unknown.

You’ll feel you are visiting these destinations with her.
