Welcome to my pages. Here are just a few words about myself and my travel habits:
Ever since I was old enough to understand how very large the world really is, I have wanted to travel. I admired the great explorers and wanted to follow in their footsteps. I never thought I would be able to really afford the type of travel I longed for everyday.
Growing up in Wisconsin, my parents would take me around the state for "Sunday drives." My father was a travelling salesman and often would come home after a couple weeks of being gone and turn right around and take us to his favorite restaurant that he stumbled upon on his travels. It seems this was some sort of hobby for him. Anyway, I really enjoyed that and after I left home I realized how much I missed it so my husband and I started driving around Minnesota to explore our new home state.
Eventually, we saved up enough money to travel to Istanbul. I have always been fascinated by the history of Turkey and thought it would be a good place to start our world travels. Boy, was I right. It was wonderful and I will never forget the experience. The only problem is that I enjoyed myself so much that I have the travel bug more than ever!! LOL
Keep in mind when reading my pages that we are budget travellers. In order to be able to travel as much as we would like we need to cut corners. I make all of our own travel plans online. We read about the places we would like to visit extensively. No piece of information is too small.
I especially enjoy finding information on non-touristy restaurants serving local specialties, local sporting events, and alternative music concerts that will be happening during our stay in a city.
Enough said about me. I hope you enjoy my pages!
