I love to travel!  I very briefly worked for a travel company but the vast majority of what I know about traveling is purely through first hand experience. Writing this blog is a creative outlet for me and I enjoy sharing my stories and experiences in hopes that it can provide some insight that will be helpful or at the very least entertaining.  Unless otherwise noted, I am not compensated in any way for what I write so it is purely my views and experiences you are being exposed to.

My parents always took us on a week long summer vacation, mostly road trips, and that is what started it all.  Not content to restrict my life experiences to the United States, in high school I saved up (and with my parent’s help) to take a 10 day trip to England, France, and Spain.  I have been on 6 cruises throughout the Caribbean and find it to be a great way to explore an area you may not otherwise know much about.  I’ve been to 6 countries not including the Caribbean islands I’ve visited, and 30+ US States.  Finally getting to travel out to the Western half of the US the last couple years has been a thrill for me.  Eventually I hope to travel to parts of Asia, Latin America, and see more of Europe.  There are just so many places to go!

I encourage comments from my readers and request everyone share their experiences to expand the knowledge pool for the betterment of everyone’s travel.

Please read, enjoy, comment, and share!

This year I became a proud Subaru Ambassador! Jade (that’s my Forester) has transported us safely through two mountain trips this year already for a total of nearly 4,000 miles. She has been washed and is relaxing in her garage until our next adventure, or until I go into the office, whichever comes first. 😉 #SubaruAmbassadors
