Hello! Welcome to Ritzy Roamer

All aboard the wild ride at RitzyRoamer.com!

Thrilled you’ve landed here!

Who’s at the helm of this chaotic caravan? Picture this: a dad to two lads who are as fearless as they are tireless, a physician who’s sworn by the Hippocratic Oath and occasionally by the traffic on the way to the hospital, a globe-trotter with a compass perpetually pointing towards adventure, and – drumroll, please – a blogger who types with the fury of a thousand caffeinated monkeys. Broadcasting live from the grand ol’ USA, it’s me, your captain on this voyage through the blogosphere.

The inception of my travel tale-spinning saga was as accidental as discovering you actually like pineapple on pizza. It all began with the casual chitchat, the clinking of glasses, the long-distance phone bills, and the holiday merry-making. Turns out, my yarns of yonder were hitting the sweet spot, inspiring folks with my globetrotting gossip. The idea of a blog hovered like a UFO on the horizon of my thoughts, elusive and somewhat intimidating, given the juggling act of my professional and paternal duties. But then, bam! A Vancouver to Banff road trip blogpost hit me like a lightning bolt – detailed, enlightening, and strangely motivating. Suddenly, the blogging beast didn’t seem so beastly.

And just like that, RitzyRoamer.com was no longer a “what if” but a “heck yes”!

Let’s clear the air: Being a doc in the US is like being in a high-speed blender set on “Pulverize”, clocking in more hours than a clock. Throw in a spouse who’s equally enmeshed in the medical melee and a couple of kids who believe sleep is for the weak, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for… well, utter madness. But here’s the twist – this whirlwind life fuels my mantra: work hard, roam harder. Our clan hits the road (or the skies) at least four times a year, weaving a tapestry of memories and misadventures. And thanks to my so-called expertise (no bragging, just fact), I dart across the map for conferences, sneakily squeezing in some sightseeing.

With the windfall from our double doctor duo, we’ve elevated our expeditions from mere pinching pennies to plush pursuits, crafting memories destined for the hall of fame, not just the photo frame. Our travels might not scream “billionaire’s bucket list,” but they often whisper “sophisticated sojourner.” Hence, RitzyRoamer.com – a nod to our knack for navigating the globe with a touch of flair.

Now, don’t get it twisted. RitzyRoamer.com isn’t about turning a profit. It’s my digital diary, a scrapbook of sorts, chronicling the capers of the Clan Ritzy across continents. The real journey kicks off not when you land but the moment the idea of “What if?” hits. From the plotting and planning to the booking and braving, every step is a story, every hiccup a hoot.

Dive into the diary of our escapades as I spill the beans on how we decide, decipher, and deal our way through destinations, digs, dinners, and dilemmas, enhanced with vivid images and videos. It’s all here – the good, the bad, and the “Why did we think this was a good idea?”

So, strap in as we transform fleeting moments into everlasting epics. In our narrative, the truest treasure is the trove of times spent with those we hold dear. Let’s embark on each expedition as if it’s a saga to be savored, a narrative to be narrated, and a journey to be jubilated. Welcome to RitzyRoamer.com – where every journey is a jamboree!
