January 2020 - We are spending January in Puerto Vallarta, MX.  Puerto Vallarta is less of an adventure and more of a second home to me.  The best reason to be here is the weather also the people are wonderful and the restaurants are great.

Our travels around the world 2020

 

One of my life long dreams was to retire and travel around the world for a year….so we did it!  The goal was to pick 12 counties and spend about a month in each one.  I wanted to be a traveler, not a tourist.  I wanted to get to know the locals and see the world from their eyes.  The countries we picked included; Mexico, Belize, St. Thomas, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Cambodia, Vietnam and New Zealand.  Unfortunately Covid 19 hit during our travel year so we had to do the trip over 3 years rather than one.  But we were able to travel to every place we selected.

I love to travel and I love photography so this blog was a lot of fun for me.  Many friends and family members followed along as well as many people I have never met.

I travel because I’d rather look back and say “I can’t believe I did that” rather than “If only I had.”

To read, reflect, explore, to meet the locals and to view and understand the world from their eyes.
