About Me
My passion for travel started way back in high school (date will never be revealed! Lol!), when my very first job involved being part of a team of camp counselors from around the world. I was intrigued by their accents and stories of their home countries. I continued to be intrigued in college while interacting with international students and taking Spanish as my electives, although graduating with a BA in Economics.
My young life's defining moment came when I decided to quit my very first job after college and travel to Spain, for what was only supposed to be six months. It would be three years before I would see the United States again. I threw myself into becoming (for the most part) fluent in Spanish, teaching English as a second language and traveling around Europe.
Years later, during a mid-life career change from university career development director/ human resources recruiter to a job that requires and allows constant travel (domestic and international), my passion for travel was reignited.
Throughout my life, I have visited 34 countries. And no matter what, I still always discover something and beautiful.
My Travel philosophy:
1) Travel often. None of this once a year for a week vacation mentality.
2. Use travel to enhance knowledge. I attend lots of exhibitions. They are like taking mini university courses. I also always buy the audio when offered in museums.
3. I believe that while traveling, if a purchase is going to enhance the moment, your home environment or your future, without stifling you financially, then go ahead and buy it with not regrets.
