My travel bug probably started when I was around 7 years old. By that time, I had already moved 7 times across multiple U.S. state lines and got very used to introducing myself at new schools and making new friends. From there, I honestly don’t think I ever learned how to stay in one place. I make it a goal every year to go to one new U.S. state and one new country. I don’t count it unless I stay one full day and night in that place. In my 33 years, I have been to 33 countries, 31 states, and all 7 continents! I’ve lived in Italy, China, and now I’ll be living in Italy again for the next 12 weeks. I love sharing my quirky travel stories and I hope you find them half as entertaining as I do!
