Nancy Tardy is a solo traveler passionate about each new trek into the unknown. She often veers off the well-traveled path and delights in successfully finding her way around Medellin, Columbia or Penang, Malaysia or exploring Antarctica from an expedition ship.  Her travel articles have been published in print and online media, and she is currently engaged in writing a book about her experiences on all seven continents and in over eighty countries.

A firm believer in the positive benefits to mental and physical health that accrue from travel, she seeks to empower other solo travelers to take that first step from the known of our everyday lives into the wonderful world of the unknown.

To support her travel addiction, Nancy works as a hospital pharmacy manager and enjoys researching medico-legal events. Her first book, a true-crime thriller, is a compilation of legal cases involving the use of the injectable muscle relaxant, succinylcholine, as a murder weapon and is currently seeking a publisher.
