Greetings from the Road Less Traveled.
I am Hanna Maxwell, freelancer by day, blogger by night, traveler all the time. I have been all about writing and doing it properly for over 30 years. I'm in a unique position to be old enough to have an "old school" education, meaning it goes well beyond the stuff of grammarly, set up to homogenize and standardize the fine art that is writing, while I'm young enough to not be all stodgy about it.
Visit my LinkTree to keep up with what's going on across my blogoverse.

My web presence as a blogger has multiple personality disorder, the traveler in me likes to move around from site to site writing about different things. Unpacking it is like solving a mystery, not only is it fun, it's fun!
Here's some of what's featured at my Main Website;
Highway Hanna- is where you'll find Tales from the Road Less Traveled. These re-tellings cover everything from the nearly normal to the practically paranormal. I have a head full of travelers tales and such from decades on the road less traveled and I aim to share them.
Homegrown Hanna- For many years I have made a study of herbal and alternative medicine for body, mind and spirit. I represent a bridge between the Root Doctor and the Barefoot Doctor, the psychologist and the parapsychologist. Between the eternal student and the forever Bohemian, between the physical and metaphysical. I love both science and all the things it can't explain.
Hot-Headed Hanna- Controversial stuff here (Maybe? You choose, every. single. time.) Here's your official trigger warning:*!*
I tend to throw down TRUTH and favor logical thinking over emotional reacting.
As a Freelancer, I'm free to trip the fantastic through Mother Nature's Magical Kingdom knowing I have given you this, the one site to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.☕
This is where I accept donations for all my fine work from cleaning a house to clearing a house. From editing to editorializing. From gardening to grant proposals, mediation to meditation or in any advisory capacity for any number of things.
I would rather reply to people personally than have payment or membership tiers or obligatory subscriberships where I'm all up in yer inbox whether you want me there or not. Just swing by when you're in a weird mood. Maybe I'll send something every once in a blue. 💙
I post NEW CONTENT three to nine times per week provided I have the resources to do so. I am often on the road.
Namasté & Namaloha,
~Highway Hanna

+Round Peg in a Square One Village, The blog where I'm periodically posting field notes/field journal entries from a two year, full immersion, covert, ethnographic study of a homeless village in Eugene, Oregon. There was almost as much blood and betrayal there as there is in the bible.
I am going to dispel some of the myths and BS surrounding the homeless issue in America. One question the study aims to address is; what's more broken, the system or the people? Not to mention, does the system only function FOR the broken people? That and so much more is addressed there.
The village was a place of domestic abuse, violence, drunkenness, suicide attempts and even an unreported death. I was robbed on several occasions, assaulted physically and sexually and was threatened and verbally abused by other villagers as well as staff while I lived there.
I've only just begun to post the Field Notes/Journal Entries and will continue to as regularly as time allows if there is interest.
+Rain Boots & Random Acts, being a blog dedicated to the family that abandoned me and how I've come to terms with that. Since the pandemic, there has been more communication with them. I'm not sure what to do about that but the whole thing with either be glorious or a glorious shit-show, so tune in!
***I'll also be posting book reviews, poetry and short stories at Medium, I am there somewhat frequently.
You can CONTACT ME via any of my blog-sites.
