Welcome to

Anywayward

An expat travel blog of an American nurse in the UK

Out in the big, wide world adventure awaits. Nursing made it possible for me to get out there and explore places, people, and cultures I never dreamed of seeing. Anywayward is a collection of stories from my international travels and everyday life as an American nurse in England. And for fellow nurses out there itching to see more, there are loads of resources to help make your international nursing career a reality.

Get inspired by stories of cheap(er) travel through Europe, which for me was made possible by healthy work life balance and more than 6 weeks of paid time off.

Be entertained by anecdotes of the joys and frustrations of navigating life in a different country.

Plan your career across the pond using the resources I’ve made to help you understand what nursing is like in the UK and how you too can become an international nurse.

Are you ready?

/travel

One of my passions in life is travel. Every journey opens my eyes to things I never knew existed. My love of travel brought me to the UK and I am very much looking forward to getting back out into the world.

/living in England

Settling into a foreign country takes time, patience, and a few mistakes. Laugh with me at me and try to prepare yourself for the “quirks” of being an American in England.
