Shanster Travels description on YouTube:

Life is a BEAUTIFUL Adventure!!! I travel mostly Solo but I never leave a place without making life long friends!!! I have an extensive Medical field background too!! I have degrees in MA (office & billing), Phlebotomy, EMT & Firefighting, Psychology and prior owner of Saturn Entertainment DJ / KJ Company! I really am a Jill of all trades!!! My heart is in the mountains of Kentucky and I love to hike when my knee permits it... But I love any type of Nature!!!! My winters are mostly travels to Florida as a part time snowbird if I am not on a cruise ship or somewhere warm! I have experienced so much in my life and I am slowly working on showing you! I love to Camp, Visit Resorts, Cruise, Road Trip and so much more!!! I will share the world with you... One Video at a time... through my eyes! I am starting a new inspirational channel!!! It is called Shanster's Beautiful hearts4u.. I do have a huge facebook following so I figured I would give it a shot on youtube too:)
