As the child of immigrants, my parents took me overseas at a very early age. I am told I was in Hong Kong at age 1, but I admit I can't actually remember it.

When I was 23 I traveled by myself around the world. But I've had a dry spell over the last 12 years. Work, family and life had my wings bound up in other things. I am so excited to report that I am currently on an around-the-world trip and this blog is to commemorate said seal being re-broken.

I realize I've been a wanderer my whole life, and the path continues. So let's see where this takes me...
