My perspective on travel is different – I hate solo travel and I’m perfectly content with that. To me, the essence of travel lies in the shared experiences with the people I care about.

Hey Geeks! My name is Beth but on social most people know me as “Geek Girl”. I’ve always thought of that as a badge of honor. I am geeky. I’m geeky about travel, photography, food, clothes. Join me and lean into your geeky, too.

![Happy Saturday, friends. Comment if you'd like me to share more about my whirlwind trip to Paris.
And a quick Beth update: walking is going well and dizziness has lessened a bit, too. Physically, I feel so much stronger already. Mentally, my healing might be a longer process. But I'm making progress and that feels really good right now.
Thank you for the love, support, and chai. 💚

![Happy Sunday, friends. I am still on the mend. Ups and downs for sure. I'm trying to get in at least 30 minutes of walking each day, but yesterday was a bit tougher.
Thank you for all the well wishes.

![A slight departure from my normal content. I want to thank you so much for your well wishes. Yesterday, I did have to go in for emergency surgery but all that praying and positivity and fur baby content you sent my way worked because we were able to go with best case scenario plan A for the surgery. I'll have a bit of recovery time, mentally and physically, but I feel very lucky we got me into the operating room as soon as we did.
I've received all of your comments, well wishes, questions, and offers of help. It is so appreciated. Three of the biggest questions:
*Will I have a GoFundMe?* No, I won't. I am very fortunate to have good insurance that will cover the vast majority of this unexpected surgery.
*Can you send get well cards?* You know what, I'd absolutely love that. Here is my very long GGT address:
Geek Girl Travel
19101 Limestone Commercial Dr, Ste 150
#127
Pflugerville, TX 78660-7573 USA
*And finally, what ways can I be supported and helped right now?* Honestly, I am personally very fortunate. I had an amazing surgical team and I have insurance and a husband who can be by my side during my recovery, as well as an army of family and friends. But that's not the case for everyone. I use my Patreon funds to assist others in need. I have been able to support dozens of people who have unexpected bills, rent they can't pay in total, food insecurity -- all thanks to your support of my Patreon. So, if you want to help me, help me help others.
I truly appreciate your love and support. It means the world to me. Also, who else loves hospital socks? Wish I got a second pair. 😅](https://scontent-lax3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/437205684_1345090299515685_7611864603479004197_n.heic?stp=dst-jpg&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=E7u5_15xxNgQ7kNvgGw1nf5&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AYB0CYHFQ74au-cMPYt5UmB_7KlL7udBKGNyWc8eFTu9Dw&oe=666D52FD)
