First trip overseas - just 12 years old!

About this blog

My first overseas adventure was the result of an invitation to attend a wedding in Versailles, France with a friend in the 7th grade. Thanks to my Great Aunt Anna, I got my first bite from the travel bug by attending a fairy tale wedding at a castle, danced my first waltz, explored Paris and the Palace of Versailles, giggled over cute French boys, stopped in Stuttgart (all I recall is some funny tasting ice cream) and have loved travelling since!

It is amazing how a seemingly small choice in one's life can have amazing impact. Although I didn't appreciate the history, food and culture I know I gained an important, yet intangible, love for new people and places!

Thanks to my dear Great Aunt Anna, may she rest in peace.
