I can easily pinpoint the time of my life when I caught the "travel bug": In the Fall of 2001, I did an abroad program called Semester at Sea (semesteratsea.org). We traveled to 10 countries in 100 days aboard the S.S. Universe Explorer, a 1950's cruise ship which was converted into a 'floating campus'. Additionally, travel has been a priority for my family for my entire life.

So far, I've made it to 56 countries and 47 states. Memories of experiences I had traveling the world occupy my mind for some part of each and every day. The things I learned and life skills I gained are what I aim to share through this platform. I am, and always will be, passionate about travel. My hope is to pass this passion on.
