About Me
Who the Heck Am I?
I'm a person that likes to travel and wants to encourage others to get out of their comfort zone to do the same...however that works for them.. I developed my love of travel after a high school trip to Europe (something I saved all my pennies to do for a year!). From then I was hooked but college and kicking off a career didn't make it easy to pursue. I slogged away for years working, but eventually was able to start sneaking away for one to two week trips here and there. In recent years (pre-pandemic) I was able to get away for longer stretches which was a dream come true. I've made an effort to not only visit far away lands and bucket list global locations, but have also traveled to all 50 US states (and I hope to hit all Canadian provinces as well). Obviously the pandemic put a wrinkle in my plans but my current country count is 45 and I hope to start growing that again soon.
Aside from traveling I also love to cook so you may sometimes see me post my recent attempts at culinary delights (or ordering the next best thing) on the tab "From the TV Tray".
Where Have I Been?
Countries I've Traveled To
I thought it might be helpful to share the places I've visited (some for long stays, some a quick pass thru) in case you're looking for advice on a particular area. I don't claim to be an expert on all but am happy to provide any help I can. Over time I'll create a section with helpful information by region but until then this is a start!
