I love to travel – beginning when I was small, my dad would take my brother and I every summer on long vacations throughout the US. We went out West, up to New England, across the Midwest and along the Eastern Coast. My mother always took us to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and it remains one of the most beautiful, idyllic places I’ve ever been.
At 15, I went international with a trip to Spain and I was hooked. I went to college in London, UK and visited Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria, Greece and Jordan.
Now that I’m in the workforce, I travel less overseas, but have loved exploring the Southern US: New Orleans, Charlotte, Asheville, Charleston, Tampa, Gatlinburg, Blue Ridge Mountains, and my favorite – Savannah. This page lists all of my more recent (post-college) travel and adventures – including our amazing 2014/2015 honeymoon in Southeast Asia where we visited Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam!
