As I'm fortunate enough to travel a good amount, I find writing about said travels helps me hang onto the memories much better than if I rely on photos, alone. This is a travel blog directory of sorts where a simple mouse click will deliver to you the post I've written about the place you've chosen. I can't promise it'll be overly helpful (I am not Rick Steves), but I can promise personal moments, a little bit of soul-stealing, adventures in food, and general shenanigans. I write about what we do, where we go, what we see, and sometimes how it affects us. Travel is something I cherish because it allows the kind of personal growth nothing else can.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

~ Mark Twain

******************************

As you click toward the places listed, please bear in mind that some posts may mention the better known attractions of a place, but some don't talk about the typical tourist spots at all. Upon looking through my blog to retrieve links to all the travel related posts, I realize I've just scratched the surface and need to get writing about our trips over the years. I'll add to this directory as more is written.

I hope you'll enjoy!
