In 2014, I started to write about all my travels, and the ten major vacations that I have written about so far have yielded some of the most exciting memories of my life.
I understand my posts can get verbose (sometimes a single two-week holiday may expand to as long as tens of thousands of words), but please bear with me as I strive to capture every little memory and every fine detail, as those are oftentimes the moments most profound and special.
Please enjoy reading about my travels as much as I enjoyed traveling them. I hope they might give you ideas for what to do when you visit all these amazing places!
