About Going Places

Welcome to my blog, Going Places.

This blog is a record of my life, personal improvement projects, parenting journey, travels, readings, and thoughts. I sometimes offer advice or information based on my experiences and research, but the primary mode of writing is personal, so take it with a grain of salt.

I was very ambitious about this blog at one point (during the Korea years 2007-2010), but now I'm in a happy groove of writing for myself.  I kept another blog mostly about our personal finance journey called Free, Fun, Family on Wordpress (2018-2021), but decided having a blog "business" was not for me. I've archived these posts (from 2018-2020); some were written in a different "voice". I welcome questions from readers.

This blog is 100% not a business. As such, I'm not a member of any affiliate programs (ok, just YNAB, but it won't hurt me at all if you don't use my affiliate link for that; it's awesome!). I won't try to sell you stuff here. If you are moved to support this blog with your money, please give generously to a local poverty alleviation organization that means something to you. If you want to support me with money, send any freelance jobs you think I might do well with my way.

I sometimes trade links with other interesting blogs. Send me an e-mail if you are curious about that: storysinger81 [at] gmail.com

All material (photos, writing) on this blog is my own property. Request permission for use, cite me as the creator (with a link to the blog if you're publishing it online), and do not sell my material for profit. When I find out, I will hunt you down.
