Cape of Good Hope, South Africa |
Thanks to my older brother, Mike, I can call myself a world traveler.
 |
Riviera Maya, Mexico |
My travels started on December 25, 2001, when I decided to pack up my car and his and move myself from Illinois to Minnesota.

Leaning Tower of Pisa - Italy |
I really had no clue what I was getting myself into, but I knew I had to do something with myself and life, and I most certainly couldn't sulk about being heartbroken any longer.
 |
Santorini, Greece |
I took a huge risk by moving, but it has paid off.
 |
Biggest Spruce - Washington |
I found work, great friends, developed a super close relationship with both my brothers and best of all fell in love.
 |
Yellowstone Park |
And then there was travel. Lots and lots of travel.
 |
St. Lucia |
The first trip was Italy. Soon it was Peru, then Ireland and then Greece.
 |
Mount Rushmore |
Followed by St. Lucia and South Africa and then a trip out west and then Mexico.
 |
Machu Picchu, Peru |
I want to see every place out there in the world. No wonder The Amazing Race is one of my favorite shows.
