About the Moxie Girl

Hi! I’m Elisabeth Daniels.  Thanks for visiting!

After nearly six years in state government service, first as a public information officer and then as a deputy administrator, I am now traveling with my husband by RV, pursuing my creative passions: writing, adventuring, crafting, doing voice-over, and blogging.

I’m an award-winning fiction writer, taking 3rd place at the 2011 Flash! The Short, Short Fiction Contest for my story “The Boots”.  I’m also a freelance writer for Desert Companion magazine.  My first book, “The 5-Minute Guide to Diplomacy”, is available from Amazon.com.  I sit on the board of the Writers of Southern Nevada as the Director of Publicity.

In 2002, I began a lifestyle change, losing over 100 pounds and keeping it off. My transformation isn’t just about dropping pounds; it’s about picking up new experiences everywhere I go – from kooky culinary quests to funky physical feats. I am embracing adventures of all kinds and sharing the stories with you!  I did my first triathlon and a Tough Mudder in 2011.  In 2012, I completed 21 running and obstacle races.  In 2013, I have returned to a previous fitness passion - pole dancing – and even had the opportunity to train with Arlene Caffrey in Dublin at the Irish Pole Dance Academy.

Stay tuned for our upcoming podcast, “Adventures in a Hallway”, about our escapades while motorhoming across the country
