Travel inspired
Explore the world and feed your appetite for adventure...
How do you take the first step? There are many ways to approach travel whether with family, friends, a group, or solo. To help you get started, I've compiled information from the countries I've visited, hoping to make your planning a little easier.
How did I get started? I decided to share travel information as I began planning an "Around the World" trip in 2013. As I was searching for various bits of information, often having to reference multiple sites to puzzle together an answer, I thought I should share from my experiences and make the journey easier for others. So, I built my first website! It's also a great way to remember all the names and places I visited over the years. And when I click through the photos, I quickly go back in time, remembering the brothy aroma and taste of the street food in Bangkok, the pristine beaches in Abu Dhabi, the laughter of the locals running into the ocean in Hoi An, and the solemn peace and smell of incense in the cathedrals of Italy.
Reach out if you have questions! And sign up for my newsletter. As I learn of changes in the travel world and continue to visit new countries, I compile information in a short newsletter that I send every few months. I hope sharing my learnings and experiences helps inform your journey.
