Articles By Andrew Ferguson
Andrew is the husband of a gypsy nurse, father to their three-year-old son (aka: the travel coordinator), and a writer of short, third person autobiographies. He and his family have traveled the nation in search of adventure, family bonding, and awesome new experiences, for the past year.
Before that, Andrew made his travel bones working for the railroad, and as a project manager for a military contractor. Both occupations gave him a great deal of travel experience. In his current incarnation, he is part of a wonderful travel nurse family, and logging their exploits for your entertainment.
