Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you.

Anthony Bourdain

Growing up my family didn’t travel and by high school I’d only visited a handful of states in the US. In college, I’d ventured into Mexico with friends, but didn’t really take an interest in travel until my 30’s, and since then I have amassed quite the travel bucket list. I’ve been fortunate to explore while traveling for business internationally, and certainly do my best to spend a little extra time exploring whenever I can.

As soon as I book a trip, I set out to fill my itinerary with as many local gems as I can. I have benefitted from others sharing their experiences and certainly enjoy sharing mine, so I aim to capture highlights from my adventures to share here with others. Not always timely with documenting my adventures, haha, but excited to share none the less. Please let me know if you end up visiting any of my favorites – let me know what you think!
