Traveling is something that I’ve done since I was a young child. My father was in the military so we often spent time living in various places throughout the Middle East and beyond — though it was sometimes difficult to feel like I belonged to any particular location, it did give me a chance to see early on how different people live in the various cultures across the world.
Once I got older, I decided that I wanted to continue on the tradition of traveling around the world, but I also wanted to create more of an impact on others. In addition to traveling, writing has always been a passion of mine. I decided to create a travel blog as a way to weave my personal travels and experiences into each of my posts. I love being a travel blogger – I hope that my words not only inspire you, but also provide you with the information that you need to go out and explore on your own.
