About me

Hey, I’m Marty B—a thinker, creator, fighter, and survivor. I’ve been through six open-heart surgeries, lived a life full of twists and turns, and learned one big lesson along the way: life is meant to be lived, not just survived.

I’ve spent years in the music industry, bringing legendary artists to my hometown, and I’ve built a life around creativity—writing, speaking, sharing good vibes, and advocating for mental health. But after a lifetime of pushing through setbacks and chasing stability, I realized… what I really want is to embrace the unknown and just go.

That’s why, in 2025, I’m hitting the road for a full year of travel with my 74-year-old mom. We’re packing up, jumping in her Nissan Rogue, and exploring Canada, the U.S., and Europe. No plan, no routine—just adventure, stories, and the freedom to live on our terms.

This blog is where I’ll document it all—the highs, the challenges, the lessons, and the wild experiences along the way. If you’re into real stories, travel, mindset shifts, and the idea of breaking free from the ordinary, you’re in the right place.
