I'm a travel addict, wildlife lover, and an endlessly curious pursuer of history and culture. Driven by a passion for adventure, I joined the military as a teenager and served abroad for several years. My love of travel has only grown more potent with time. I'm a mother of two young kids, whom I now take with me on my worldly adventures. I believe that travel shapes us in immeasurable ways, making us better, more well-rounded people.
