Welcome

There is just something special about travel, don’t you think? I haven’t decided if it is time away from the “daily grind,” experiencing other cultures, or maybe meeting new people and trying new things. Sometimes, it’s just the opportunity to sit alone and process everything that has been rushing through your head without prying eyes or distracting conversations.

Whichever it happens to be (and oftentimes it’s more than just one), travel has to be one of the most wonderful benefits in this life. It has challenged me, encouraged me, revived me, and amazed me. My travels have shown me beauty and grandeur, and have exposed me to new communities with hope-filled resilience. They have taught me to be independent and self-sufficient, that there is value in understanding people you don’t necessarily agree with, and that from an overarching prospective, I am insignificant, in a profoundly freeing way.

With all that being said, I hope you enjoy your time here and gain some benefit from what I have to share. If you are looking for ideas to help plan your next trip or even your next afternoon drive, please check out my Travel Guides section where you can explore some of my favorite spots and drives. On a Personal Note is my blog, where I share my behind-the-scenes musings, as well as my experiences and thoughts on more personal or serious topics. You can find various photos from my adventures in the Photography section as well. Thanks for coming to visit and I hope you enjoy!
