The Turtle Moves
One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
Small Gods, Terry Pratchett




Throughout the course of my life I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel various places. I absolutely love getting out and seeing beautiful scenery and amazing structures and experiencing new cultures and foods. Fortunately for me, I was blessed with a fairly abnormal childhood (for an American) and grew up overseas--the Caribbean Sea, to be exact. I spent the majority of the first 10 years of my life in Haiti as a missionary kid. I've since had the chance to travel to Mexico City, Toronto, England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and about half the states in the U.S. itself (see the map below). My parents currently live in Hawaii, so I tend to make a trip out there once a year (oh, the sacrifice). My most recent trip was an extended weekend in San Diego, California. What a gorgeous place! I'll be posting more pictures from my trips as I get a chance to scan and size them.

Next 10 places I'd like to visit: Greece, Italy, Egypt, Spain, Japan, Australia, Boston, New York City, New Orleans, Yosemite
