About
Ruth
 Ruth
Batik is a lifelong traveler--she took her first
interstate trip at the tender age of three weeks
old, and has been hitting the road ever since.
Every summer, her family took a long camping
trip; by the time she left home at 17, she had
visited each state in the continental U.S. Her
parents taught her that limited means don't
mean limited possibilities.
On her own, Ruth has studied in Austria, worked
in Ireland, and visited various other countries.
She and her husband, Andy Fitzgerald, met and
married after Ruth completed the Odyssey. They
share a love of travel and are always itching
to ramble.
Her
Roots
 Born
and raised in rural Western Pennsylvania, Ruth
spent almost 20 years in Washington, DC. The
DC years were priceless, but the Odyssey took
her back to her roots. She and Andy (a native
of Maine) now live in rural Central Virginia,
and are happily settling into country life in
the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Her
'Journey'
 Ruth
has been a waitress, a secretary, a conference
planner, an office manager, a freelance writer,
and a magazine editor. Writing was her childhood
dream, but for too long she thought she really
didn't have anything to say.
She finally found her "voice,"
and says it feels good to know what she wants
to be when she grows up!
