With everything that’s been going on in the world these days, I believe travel is as important as ever. When you immerse yourself in a new country with different customs and often other languages and cultures, you realize pretty quickly that while we may all have some differences, at the heart of it, where it counts the most, you realize we are all the same. ❤
I’d choose a passport full of stamps any day!
One of the best things I spend my money on for sure!
To me, the best stories are those told about far away places or new discoveries. Stories about finding new friends on the road or finding yourself somewhere you’d least expect. Stories about different cultures and interesting foods. Stories about the kindness of strangers and how you can communicate around the world with some charade moves and a smile. Stories that only come with getting out and exploring this amazing world.
So get out there and and become not only a traveler but also a storyteller.
This week, I had some fun playing around with iMovie and made my youtube channel a trailer.

It’s been 12 years since I took my first trip without my family and began traveling on my own and while my travel style (and budget) have changed a little over the years, the backpacker, low-budget style I started out with is still my favourite way to travel.
Maybe as I move more into my 30s, more items in this article will begin to ring true. While I now always make sure I have travel insurance and I’ve gotten much better at showing up in a place having already booked my accommodations (even if it was only an hour before getting on the plane), I still love staying in hostels and guest houses and you’ll still find me sleeping in corners at the airport in an attempt to stay on my always low-budget. Also, I’m not sure I’ll ever switch to giving handshakes instead of hugs, but as my body continues to age and find new aches and pains, I may have to start taking my suitcase more and leaving my beloved backpack at home.
How many things on this list to you identify with?
