During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I wanted to find areas of nature, where I could get away from the crowded city. I noticed there was a beautiful sanctuary, Hall's Pond, across from Hawes Street (a station on the C Line - Green Line). At the time, I didn't feel comfortable on public transit, due to COVID, so I would walk to and from my apartment to Hall's Pond. 

Then, in February of 2021, I got more comfortable and decided to find other areas of nature on the subway. I finished all the subway stations in May of 2021, the commuter rail stations in February of 2022 and the buses and ferries in May of 2022. And again on September 14 with the East Boston Ferry, December 12 with the Green Line extension to Medford/Tufts, and January 23, 2023 with the Pawtucket Commuter Rail Station. 418 different stations/buses/ferries. What started off as a bucket list item and an escape from being bullied, harassed and retaliated against by management at my subsidized housing, expanded into a travel book on the MBTA for all to enjoy and a travel consulting business. 

My audience includes those who love to travel and explore, but don't drive (or want to leave their car at home) and/or are disabled (like myself). I walk with a forearm crutch, so I made sure to find places where myself and others could go, within walking distance of the station/bus/ferry.

A series of 4 travel guides on the MBTA - "Take Transit To Travel: MBTA" will be published soon. (Release date to be determined.) I share where people can go out to eat, shop, find nature, historical and educational sites, dog parks, playgrounds, and more! Being a sociologist, it was important to support local businesses.
