ABOUT

This is a blog about recent travels. Traveling is my happy place and puts a smile on my face. When my vacations are over, I almost immediately want to begin planning my next trip. And yet, I have so much to digest about my previous trips: pictures, memories, souvenirs, and stories. So many stories.

In order to sustain my happy place and thus keep my happy face, I have decided to share my stories and pictures with the internet, and the world.

I take a lot of photographs while on vacation. Here I choose some to complement the stories and maybe tell a story on their own.

Enjoy! Bienvenue!
