    Travel

    Travel became my passion after visiting Italy for the first time. That trip was before I started Food, Fun & Faraway Places.

    Since that time, my travel has extended to other countries in Europe like Nordlingen Germany and County Wicklow Ireland. There is so much to see in Europe!

    I visited Gili Trawangan Indonesia several years ago on my first trip to Asia. Since then, I've been able to visit six more countries there, including spending one day in Singapore.

    On my last trip to Asia, I was finally able to visit the Middle East, starting in Amman Jordan, and even staying in the Feynan Ecolodge, a bucket list experience in the Dana Biosphere Reserve.

    Right now, I'm exploring my big backyard here in Florida, where just recently I've been to the Florida Keys, Naples, and Fort Myers. I have so much more to explore!
