I LOVE to TRAVEL! I figure you can guess that based on my Blog name but that is my passion. My second passion is English. Just about anything to do with English. Reading, Writing and Teaching English. I wasn't always passionate about Traveling. I did always have a love for English especially teaching and writing.
In High School, my dream was to travel Europe after Graduating. I had found a website that I could go with a group but my plane tickets weren't included in their price. It seemed unattainable, and for many years it was for me. It wasn't until 2017, five years after I had graduated, mere months after a terrible divorce, I was determined to travel Europe by myself. AND I DID!
I loved it! I was so nervous sitting on the plane by myself surrounded by strangers at the Chicago Airport. I had flown before many times. My first trip by myself was when I was 15 going to visit family I hadn't seen in several years in Seattle, Washington from Phoenix, Arizona. I fell in love with Seattle but sadly haven't made it back there since that trip in 2009. I used to live in Germany when I was 3 years old. I only have a few vague memories so I hardly count it as traveling. So I wasn't afraid of flying. I was afraid of flying to another country by myself.
Traveling has changed me for the better! I found myself while I was abroad. I know some people think why can't you find yourself where you are living why did it have to be in Europe. My reason is I had to be outside my comfort zone and in a place I had always wanted to be. I finally had to do something for myself that made me happy. Traveling makes me happy! I love having new experiences!
Seen the ball drop in Times Square in New York City on New Year’s Eve
I have Skydived in Moab, UT
Skied (for the first time) in Toronto, Canada
Took a cooking class in Paris, France (with my bestfriend I might add)
Ate Escargot at 1am in Paris, France (totally would eat again!)
I did a river boat cruise in Frankfurt, Germany and in London, England
I love having experiences and I hope to encourage others to take the leap and go outside their comfort zone.
Safe Travels! C'est la vie!
