About us and why we love travel!

Bonjour! I’m Megan, a travel junkie that is always travel planning and researching our next big adventure. I find myself on travel blogs a lot and recently decided to start one myself. My husband and I have lived together in North Carolina, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas, Canada, France, and now we live in The Netherlands. Currently I’m a “trailing spouse,” but a former elementary school teacher.

I’m also a certified yogi and a veggie-head type that is always striving to eat more plant based. Therefore you will find a lot of vegetarian and vegan restaurant recommendations throughout my blogs.

You can check out our home page for some travel inspiration or read my favorite travel quote below.

“Why do you think traveling matters?”

“Ah! Travel is water for the garden of the soul. To enter an environment where everything is new – the flavors, the sounds, the scents – it puts you in a position to constantly recompute your environment on a regular basis. When everything is a little different from what you’re used to, your senses go into hyperdrive, and every little thing becomes a rich experience because you’re drawn into the present moment by the contrast. And when you see and experience how others live, it begs you to question why you live the way you do and, deliberately or not, oftentimes with travel, bits and pieces of other cultures begin to surface in your own life, whether it be through cooking or mannerisms or general values, or simply as a newfound appreciation for all that you have.

We are the sum of our past experiences, and the more we experience, the richer our lives become because we have more to draw upon when making decisions, as well as a better sense of self. Traveling matters because it beckons personal growth, and acts as a gateway to the discovery of your best self – and it serves as a beautiful reminder that no matter how different any culture or person may first seem, no matter how we make a living or what we wear to the beach, we’re all just trying to do the best we can with the hand we’ve been dealt – and that, alone, unites us all.”
