All the places you'll go!

I have lived and visited places all over the world. It has helped me discovered so much about myself, people, culture, and how things work around the world. So, when someone new asks me about travel I could go on for hours. But it got me thinking back to a couple of my favorites.

Chicago, Illinois

You learn Chicago is about efficiency, modesty, hard work, and community. They call it a ‘Midwest mindset.’ The city has a beautiful blend of so many diverse cultures. You get authentic people and food from every flavor of the world.

Okinawa, Japan

In Okinawa the people are warm, nature-loving, and they’re incredibly hospitable. There are lush jungles, coral beaches, and vivid shades of blue ocean. There is a reason it’s designated a Blue zone home to ‘the happiest people with the highest life expectancies.’ Island life. From a culinary point of view its sushi, ramen, and yakiniku. The sky can be so clear creating amazing star-filled nights, and astonishing sunrises.

Los Angeles, California

If traveling and exploring captivate you then then West Coast is where it is at! You can drive a couple hours out of the city you can get lost in nature. Unreal places like Joshua tree, Mojave Desert, Death Valley, or Sequoia National Park. And to top it off, one of my favorite things about LA is that it is a toasty 72°F degrees most of the year.
