Curious about my own travels?
I love visiting ancient places, museums, street art/murals, going on walking tours, and short walks through the woods. I’m not much of a beach girly or a foodie extraordinaire, but I do like shopping for snacks at grocery stores and browsing used books at English bookstores. I prefer doing free activities and saving my money for the really special stuff– or even better, exciting adventure travel!
