I have been a bit MIA lately but the travels are starting up again. Living in the United States I think I take for granted everything that is within a short flight from me or even a short drive. I took a few weeks to visit friends and family in Seattle, Fairbanks and Portland. The…

A Summary of My Mini World Tour
My last mini around the world trip was pretty random. 82 days. 27 cities. 9 countries. 15 flights. 10 different airlines. 12 books. 5 buses. 4 ferries. 2 trains. 1 Blabla! I am exhausted just thinking about it. I picked up books as I went along and left them wherever I finished them. Some I really…
Books travel just like people
When I travel I always have an actual book with me and not just a nook or a tablet. When I finish the book I leave it wherever I finished it and I leave my email address in the book with a little note. I have probably left over 50 books around the world and…
Amsterdam
When most people think of Amsterdam they immediately think of the legalized drugs and the Red Light District. I went because I heard it was a beautiful city with amazing architecture and entertaining people. While traveling in Peru in March I met Dutch guy that threw out the offer of something like, “If you are…

A hidden little gem in Belgium…Bruges

The city of chocolate and beer and mussels…Brussels!
Brussels is the capital of Belgium. When I think of Belgium I think of chocolate and beer and waffles. I was not let down when I arrived and although I did not indulge in all the delicacies, I went into to the stores for the scents and smells. Even if I didn’t sample much of…
Bonjour Paris
Sometimes part of the fun of traveling is the journey in between places. I took the bus from London to Paris and we crossed the English Channel by ferry. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the perfect opportunity for a mini photo shoot and a nice break from sitting on the bus for 9…
A different way to see London
I have been to London a few times and also met quite a few people while traveling that now live in London. Since I was in northern England I thought I would swing through and visit friends that I haven’t seen in a while. I met up with friends that I met in Ecuador, Italy,…
Liverpool madness
Some of my travel family (a group of people I met last year) live around the Liverpool/Manchester area Haydock. I decided that it was time to feel like I was at home and stay with them for a weekend. I was spoiled rotten with home cooked meals and my own guest room to sleep in….
