US and International Travel

I LOVE to travel! It does not matter if the destination is a few miles from my home or the other side of the world; it’s all an exciting adventure for me! I’ve traveled all over the United States and the world but there are still so many more travel adventures.

I call the Midwest home but pieces of my heart have been left in every city, state, region, and country I have visited. For every piece of my heart left behind, I fill it with love and fond memories from each destination. Don’t get me wrong, not every adventure has been sunshine and roses but all helped shape me into the person I am and the person I will become.

Travel changes you. Opens your eyes to a whole new world even if it’s just the next state over. It pushes you to go outside your comfort zone and grow. Travel teaches you life lessons you would never learn in a textbook.

I know not everyone has the ability to travel. If you do, you MUST. If you can’t, come along with me as I show you the world through my eyes. What I have seen so far has been absolutely beautiful and I know there are more travel adventures out there.

I will share my domestic and internal travel adventures as well as travel tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years of traveling. I can’t wait to take you along with all my world travels and adventures.
