Introduction and Contact

Hello I'm Jason.  I was born in Pittsburgh, went to school in Boston, currently reside about half way between Philly and Baltimore.  I am a resident physician specializing in emergency medicine.  Being a "resident" means that I have graduated from medical school but am still receiving some on the job training before I can practice on my own.  Its a demanding but very exciting job.  In my free time I enjoy travel (of course), hiking, camping, scuba diving, swimming, photography, trying new restaurants, craft beer, and the list goes on.  For the purposes of this blog i will try to keep things centered around travel with an occasional post on gastronomic adventures and travel related medical topics.

Welcome!

Welcome to my first ever blog post.  Do you lead a busy life and have a limited budget yet also want to travel and see the world?  If you are like me, you know that finding the time and more importantly the money to travel is no easy task.  With the help of frequent flyer miles, hotel points, and credit card rewards I have been able to travel to over 30 countries and experience things I once only dreamed of.  In this blog I hope to share a little bit about my life as an emergency medicine doctor by day and travel bargain hunter by night.  I initially got into this travel "game" while in college and medical school when i was operating on a student budget.  Now that I've graduated, I have my student loans to keep me frugal.  I will tell you a little bit about myself in an upcoming post and will post trip reports and travel deals in the future. 

Please bear with me while I get this up and running.  This is my first venture into the world of blogging and it may take me a few weeks to get all the quarks sorted out. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions or comments. 

Please note that any medical topics discussed here are my opinion only, they do not represent professional medical advice.

 

I hope you enjoy.
