OUR STORY
About Us
While many travel blogs feature full time travelers or people with remote jobs, this blog shows our adventures with more than a full time schedule. A life in medicine is not easy to plan around, but we make travel a part of who we are.
Natalie + Nike
↟ NATALIE: I love to explore, eat, and take photographs! This website is where I chronicle my travels and share my photography while being a physician, hence the name “adventures on call” (and yes, doctors still do carry pagers).
↟ NIKE: A sheltie mix (or “freckled fox”) and the perfect travel companion. I got her as a puppy during my Internal Medicine residency and lucked out that she’s the world’s most easygoing dog. She’s cool whether I’m working 80 hours/week or want to hike 10 miles in one day.
Hello!
↟ I’m a hematology-oncology physician and I treat cancer patients. In addition to my medical background, I also have an art degree (I like to use both the left and right sides of my brain)
↟ I’m have a wonderful husband and two daughters in addition to Nike (the “original baby”)
