Welcome to My Nerd Adventures! I am the Nerd Adventurer and my name is Sondra. I enjoy traveling and taking pictures, but I’m a bit of a nerd … see I love learning new things and tend to visit places of historical or biological (ie animals) interest. Literally, growing up every summer our family vacation usually included a trip to some Civil War battle field, plantation home, or presidential manor. Now that I’m all grown up, guess what my idea of a vacation is? Going to see a historical site! Or some other educational trip. But I’m also a HUGE animal lover, so places where interesting animals – such as the elephant seal pictured here at Elephant Seal Beach in San Simeon, CA – are also places that I’ll visit. Now that I’m on the West Coast, there’s a whole different history here that I get to explore and learn. So learn a little, see...
