My poor mother will never forget finding me with a white-knuckle death grip on the bars of my crib – the outside of my crib – as I made my great escape into the world. Clearly, my desire to explore the world started early. I’m not sure if my mom was more or less terrified that day than the day I flew away for a year-long foreign exchange to Spain at 15 years old.
I’m not one of those travelers who took a gap year to backpack through Asia or sold all my belongings to travel and trade work for a place to stay. I’ve travelled all these years by finding a purpose to travel and making it a core part of my life. Whether it was visiting friends, a job, or school, I looked for, and created, opportunities that allowed me to pursue my career and relationships at the same time as traveling.
That was when I started my first travel website. The year was 2000 and I was killing it on Angelfire with my short stories and photo galleries! In the intervening 20 years, I have lazily kept up with my site while I bounced around the world for school, work and fun. I’m not really a country counter but for those who care, not counting the USA I’m up to 50 visited; 5 lived in; and I own property in 1. I’ve also lived in 9 US states and visited 49. Now that we have that out of the way…
