Betsey has traveled to 34 states, 30 Indian Reservations, and 5 countries. She currently lives in South Dakota, where she is focused on publishing two books, starting a new blog & freelance business, and applying to graduate school. Someday she hopes to become a successful writer, travel the world, and live in Paris.
