Some fortunate people are born with a travel gene. Those of us meant to explore this world can only be happy if we know another trip is in the planning stages.

I have an undergraduate degree in International Relations and a graduate degree in Foreign Service.  What does this mean? It means I spent a LOT of time and money in the United States studying about other cultures.  Perhaps one could argue that I should have spent all that time and money actually visiting other countries instead.  I don’t like to think about that, though.  Instead, let’s just say that I take my research about other countries very seriously.

I write purely for fun and in my spare time. In other words, if I say nice things about anyone or anything, it’s just because I like them. Also, this means that I am going to post only when there is something to write or when I have the time to write.
