Where I am now:
Seattle! (Although I may actually be somewhere else because I’ve realized I’m very bad at updating this.)

Where I’ve been: 
Below is my travel map! It documents where exactly I’ve set foot, wheel, or sail (thus far).

I’ve traveled to over 75 countries on six continents — and counting. Some of these spots I visited just briefly during my time at sea. Some I got to know more intimately, and still others I got to call home.

My Bucket List! 

It keeps on growing.

I’m forever thinking about new places I’d like to visit with hopes of learning more about our fascinating world and its beautiful people. Below are the current top-ten travel destinations on my wish list.

My Current Bucket List: 

  • The Camino de Santiago: Pilgrimage from France to Spain by foot
  • Morocco: Tangier, Fez, Marrakech, and more (Visited Tangier & Fez in 2016 and Marrakech in 2018. Must return soon!) 
  • Trans-Siberian Express: Journey across Russia by rail
  • Iran: A Persian gem in the Middle East
  • Siem Reap, Cambodia: Ruins of Angkor
  • Mount Nemrut: UNESCO World Heritage site in southeastern Turkey
  • Antarctica: the ice continent
  • Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
  • Machu Picchu: Incan remains in the Andes of Peru
  • The Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors of China
  • Slovenia: Ljubljana, Lake Bled, and the Julian Alps
