CURIOUS WANDERER

"Not all who wander are lost..."

Welcome! This blog is this hoarder's hoard of researched info, verified data, my observations/impressions and tips about places, experiences and outings we've done. I hope this might help you with your own trip planning!

Traveling is more than just a place to see or an event to attend. Everything is "travel" and should intrinsically change a person. Travel reminds me that we are all one people living on the same rock that has one water.

Feel free to add to my bottomless bucket list by sending me an email. Happy Trails!
