My Story in Photos

 This photo was taken in 1998 at Niagara Falls in Canada (me, Mom, sister and Grandpop).  This is when I first discovered that there is more to the world then the USA.  This is when I first really became curious about other cultures and other countries.   This trip planted the seed for my travel obsession.

Oh, Colorado!  This was the trip that really fueled the fire on my travel obsession.  I absolutely fell in love with Colorado and the Rocky Mountains.  I planned to go to college out west but unfortunately lack of  money kept that from happening.  However, me and Josh are planning to head out that way for vacation next year and I plan to convince him that we need to move there!

 This is one of my favorite wedding photos.  I am not much of a planner and though I hate the planning process, it ended up being a fantastic day.  And, even if everything would have gone wrong, I wouldn't have cared because at the end of the day, I still got to marry my favorite person.

My trip to Costa Rica was life changing for me.  I fell in love with this country and it's people.  I have such a heart for Central America now and I can't wait to take Josh here one day so he understands why I'm basically obsessed.  I learned so much on this trip I couldn't even begin to express it.  Costa Rica is definitely my favorite country I've visited and I can't wait to get back there.

I thought about putting up a photo from my Europe trip because that was another life changing trip for me, but I decided to go with this one because the Europe Trip gave me two of the best friends a girl could ask for.  Meagan, Britt and I became fast friends on that trip and managed to stay in touch almost 10 years later.  Meagan (left) lives in Florida and this photo is from the first time the three of us were together in 8 years!  Meagan had an internship in DC so me and Britt (who lives in my county) met up with her before a concert we were both going to (total coincidence).  We all picked up right where we left off and its really a testament to the great friendships you make while traveling.
