WELCOME TO MY TRAVEL DIARY

Think of these posts as my travel diary brought to life. A travel guide at your fingertips, yet secret dog-eared pages of my innermost thoughts and experiences as I venture to every country in the world. Here, you'll find my itineraries plotted out, the tales of people I've met en route, travel tips I wish I knew at the time, and the excitement and (many) mishaps of a life lived on the road.

Here's to a life of adventure!
