The first time I flew on a plane I saw a fire truck come tearing by the window while we were waiting to take off. I was 16 and while seeing a fire truck drive by right before we were going to take-off made me a little nervous, my excitement to go to New Orleans—one of my original bucket list trips—was greater than any bad flying omens. For as far back as I can remember, I always had the travel bug. I wanted to see new places, experience new cultures, and go on adventures. Although I didn’t get on a plane until I was a teenager, I still explored new towns or cities whenever I could—even if it was just a long drive to Tennessee to meet my cousins halfway from Texas and bring them back to Virginia.
Some studies say that the desire to travel is genetic. All I know is that everywhere is on my list and I want to go there now. I have visited 5 continents, 27 states, and 21 countries. I have revisited a few and some I do not have a desire to go back to, but I every one of those trips enriched my life. After all, how many other people can say that they went to the top of the Eiffel Tower and saw the Pyramids in one day?
I decided to start a blog to share my adventures and insight on how to score the best deal, find a great new brunch spot, a new winery, or a bucket-list worthy trip of a lifetime. There is very little that I love more than planning a trip or finding a new local spot to try and I hope that I can help you find a new adventure.
So here it is. My blog. I am a traveler not a writer, but I hope that all of you enjoy following me on my next great adventure.
