I’ve been working in the corporate world for 10 years – but after spending some time thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, I decided that it was time to make a drastic change and do something I’ve always wanted to do, but never thought possible: travel.
When I started traveling, I didn’t know where to start. Being a bit of a history buff, there was so much to see and do all over the world. So what did I do? I just started picking places off a map! If I was going to do something crazy like give up the security of corporate life, I wanted as much adventure as I could create. Blogging and freelancing has helped me pay for my trips and I wouldn’t want to go back to that corporate life!
My travels have taken me all over the globe, I hope you will add some of my destinations to your travel itinerary in the future!
