the beginning

This will be where I record and document the happenings in my life. For the most part I will blog while traveling, as my day to day life probably isn't very exciting to an outsider. When in college I had the crazy idea to go to each continent at some point in my life. So far, I'm 1/7 of the way there. I had to start somewhere. My national travels started when I was a wee little gal in the western U.S. Aside from the western half of the country, I began venturing around by traveling to Washington, D.C. with a group of teachers, then to New York to work as a nanny for the summer. Over this past winter holiday break, I found myself in Hawaii and spring break led me to Mexico. Luckily, I have met my traveling buddy and will share many of my travels with him. My newest adventure will be exploring Africa for 6 1/2 weeks this summer. Keith and I leave in 28 days and ICANNOTWAIT.

For those of you that need a refresher, I give you....
