How did I get here? Ever ask yourself that? I never imagined that my travels would take me to over 10% of the countries in the world and I’m still traveling every chance I can.

Travel is important. It’s helped me grow beyond the sheltered, suburban kid I once was and expanded my perspectives, my friends and made a huge difference in how much I feel connected to the world. I hope some of these ideas and explorations will help you go often and do it well.

Surprised world traveler – Just say Yes!

There are always reasons to just stay put, keep up with the daily grind – but what might happen if you just…go!
