Spring of 2003. This, I believe, is where it all began. I took (what felt like) a huge leap out of the tiny little world I knew and lived in, and set out to study abroad in Alnwick, England for a semester. To sum it up, Alnwick is TINY. Cute, quaint, charming, however you'd like to label it....I labeled it suffocating. Don't get me wrong, it was all of the above, I just don't fair well in small towns. Needless to say, within the first 2 weeks of arriving in Alnwick, I was starting to plan escapes. Adventures. ANYWHERE! Since returning to the States, after backpacking all over Western Europe, I have had an ongoing 'Traveling Bucket List' that never seems to shrink.
I wish I would've started this earlier, because I have been so privileged to have already been on so many adventures, and would love to share them all. Alas, the list has NOT gotten shorter, it only continues to expand...so I am confident that I will have plenty to share!
