Hi there, I’m Stacey Ruark, the founder of Pics from the passenger side. Welcome to my website!
I am a part-time blogger and full-time manager of clinic operations. I have a boyfriend, Corey and 3 children; Josh, Amanda & Ashleigh. I also have 4 grandchildren, Kaleb, Ryleigh, Madyson & Lex. I am so blessed!
I know most wouldn’t consider themselves lucky to be a child of divorce, but I do. I grew up having two sets of parents, all of them being the best of the best. It was my dad, Bruce, who really fueled the travel bug in me. He took us on all kinds of adventures, taught us to respect and admire wildlife and how to be at peace with, and in, nature. We lost him in February of 2017 and my heart is forever broken. However, it occurred to me, not long after losing him, that one of the best ways to honor my dad is to go on adventures of my own. I know he’d love it!
I’ve always loved to travel, and I now find myself thinking of nothing but my next destination. I’m obsessed with all types of travel and that’s why I started this blog! You’ll not only find a myriad of information on the destination, but the journey along the way, the people we meet, the food we eat and all the crazy and amusing things that transpire!
My hope is to inspire you to get up, get out and travel! Spend time with your loved ones and make the most of each day. This is a great big world and we should all experience it’s beautiful and awe-inspiring wonderousness!!
