THE START OF THE JOURNEY...

Since I was a young girl, I have been fortunate enough to travel the world with my family and friends. Both my mom and dad believed in the importance of cultural awareness and have exposed me to many different environments- the rich, the poor, the lively, the abandoned, the beautiful, the ugly... I have to thank both of them for facilitating these amazing opportunities.

More specifically, I have to truly thank my mom. She has been in the travel industry for the last 30+ years and has owned her own travel agency for 20+ years. Over this time, she has become very familiar with all memorable vacation spots and cultural enlightening getaways. Through her passion for traveling, I have become the experienced traveler I am and have developed the love and passion for exploring the enriched, complex world. Her enthusiasm has transpired me to write and share my experiences. I hope you enjoy the journey of my traveling experience illustrated in this blog. I will also post some blogs from my mom, the expert!
