I travel for a living

Just kidding. But seriously. While trying to figure out what I have been wanting to do for the rest of my life, I have been traveling the world. I have been extremely fortunate to have had such amazing jobs that allow me to take off as much time necessary to spread my wings and see the world.

My parents are homebodies. They could care less if they ever left the state of Arizona. I should be a little more generous, my mom is from Montana and my Dad is from Indiana. They have traveled a bit. But not much. My Dad is one of those guys who will tell you a story and nonchalantly mention how he has been here or there. Like the time he told me he is a licensed scuba diver, and has been scuba diving in Hawaii. When did he go there? How? I am 23  years old and don't remember him taking a trip other then to Indiana or Illinois. I think he went to Florida once. Sneaky sneaky.

 Back to me...I dated a guy for almost 2 years off and on, we shall call me Zack. He always told me I was too much of a dreamer. All I have ever wanted to do was see the world. See where my family came from. After we broke up, I wanted to "show him" how my dreams could come true. I did everything to prove him wrong. I picked up and left AZ to Utah. My first real trip was when I spontaneously went to New York City. I fell in love. I am a city girl. I love fashion and I love different cultures. A month later I found myself in Orlando Florida. Visited a few other major cities. Experienced the real clubbing life in South Beach Miami. What a party. All I need is a rich older man and I am set for that life.

5 months later I was flying with my Mom and Aunt to Greece and Turkey for a one month long family history trip. I was so lucky to have been able to do one day in Rome. For the next month I was able to see where my Great Grandparents were from. What a joy that was. I also met my cousins and other aunts. I have an amazing crazy big Greek family. I was very familiar with all the food and traditions because my family made it very important to continue here in the states.

I couldn't stop there. I went to live in Florida for a month. Returned to New York. Stopped in Washington DC, then headed South of the boarder to Mexico. I am just getting started. I have two more weeks till I set sail with my 3 best friends. First stop, the Bahamas.

New York > Florida > Italy> Greece > Turkey > Florida > New York > DC > Cabo San Lucas > Puerta Vallarta >

I live each day like its my last. This world has so much to offer, and so much to see. I will be damned if I don't get to experience it all.
