Profile: Molly G. grew up moving all over creation, starting off in the Carolinas and making her way through the Jersey Shore, the banks of Lake Erie, Upstate New York and New England. Since she hates to pack she has put down roots in Boston, despite the fact that she despises winter. However, that moving bug is hard to shake so she solves the problem by traveling instead. She’s had a job in the real world crunching numbers for a Financial Planner for 17 years but shares her photography and thoughts about books, music, movies, travel and the Red Sox on The Bumbles Blog in a joint venture with her husband. She saves her best travel posts for UpTake. Molly G.'s Favorite Vacation: I love all types of vacations - camping, mountain hikes, lazy lakes, historic museums, bustling cities - but my favorite spot has probably been St. John in the US Virgin Islands. I have been there three times under three different scenarios - for a wedding with friends, as a romantic getaway and to help a friend travel with her young child. St. John provided the perfect setting for all of my trips. I loved befriending the locals and having my only decision each day be which beach to go to. I was so captivated by it I seriously considered buying some property there after one long day in the sun with cocktails. My empty bank account squashed that dream. Some day.
