I am grateful for travel.

I have been blessed to travel around the world solo and make it back to tell the tales. I started traveling internationally at 16, but in truth, I’ve always been a traveler. My family was always on the go, visiting relatives every single weekend across a few different states. Sure sometimes they were only day trips, or 3 hours away by car, but this was still travel to me. It was movement. It was laying my head in different places, seeing different people, experiencing different places and things. This, as much as anything in my life, has informed who I am as a person. Taking it international was the next logical step that I was blessed to be able to do. Taking it around the world was a lifelong dream. One I was able to do by 31. It may have seemed crazy at the time, and maybe it was, but I am so grateful travel has been and is a part of my life. It continually expands me in everyway possible.
