About the Author

I believe that, after a while, travel becomes a part of who you are. Experiencing different cultures...Visually drinking in the landscapes and sites of an area...Absorbing the essence of the who, what, where, & when of a place. All of these experiences become part of a newer and improved you.
This is why I travel whenever I can - and when I can't, I spend my time planning my next adventure. From start to finish, I figure out where we'll stay, what we'll see, what we'll eat. Essentially, I learn whatever I can about the destination, & now I'll be writing about it too!
I hope to share what I've learned with you in this blog, so that your travels can be care and hassle free. Hopefully, I can help you enjoy to the fullest, the enrichment that will become a part of the newer & improved you!
