One thing I have always wanted to write about is my travels. I wouldn't consider myself a world traveler by any means. I have friends who have visited almost every continent and I am nowhere near as well traveled. In fact, my first time traveling to Europe was August of last year when I went to France to attend my cousin Jennie's wedding. But I have a love of travel - and not the kind that consists of lounging around on a beach all day. There is nothing wrong with that, just not my thing. When I'm traveling I want to see what the local culture has to offer, see sites that go beyond the usual touristy spots and kind of just immerse myself as best I can. I prefer hostel life over resort life, because of all the interesting people you get to meet.
