I have been travelling for the most part of my life through my dad's job. We hve travelled extensively through the United States and Canada, plus trips to Austrailia and London, England. I am quite excited for this Europe trip, which will be the focus of my blog. I love to write stories, so a blog seemed like the perfect thing to keep in touch with family and friends.
