Minnesota born and raised. I think it was Rory Gilmore who first inspired my interest in travel (maybe even writing?). Like many of us, I come alive when traveling. But it isn’t the destination that ignites a sense of joy and fulfillment — it’s the people you meet and connections you make along the way. It’s slowing down and immersing yourself in the culture, whether it’s people watching at a cafe or being swept up onto the dance floor to attempt the salsa. Traveling shouldn’t be a checklist. It is an experience. This blog invites you into the people, history, and cultures around the world, not just the magnificent buildings and iconic views. Join me as I currently make my way around Spain, Switzerland, and more!
