Stepping Into Tuscan Tradition
Spending time in Siena was a major highlight of one of a couple of trips to Italy that I’ve enjoyed. Having missed out on visiting the city during my first Italian excursion, it was one of the first things on my to-do list when I returned to Tuscany and I wasn't disappointed.

Universal
I believe that there is a difference between a house and a home. While not everybody may have a house, I feel that everybody has a home. A place where you feel most like yourself. Your safe place to go where you don't have to worry about anything. A place where you can let go of everything and just live. You're free here and the emotions you experience from being there make you feel like you can do anything. You can overcome fears or do something you never thought you would. Do things you love doing over and over again. A place where you can say, “This is where I'm supposed to be” and not doubt it for a second. Somewhere that has made such a big impact on your life. A place so close to your heart that its coordinates are stamped onto your jewelry.

Santorini, Greece
Hey fellow GlobeTrotters! Below is my full experience traveling to Santorini, Greece. Enjoy! AirBnb: Goddess Lethe I give this place 5 STARS! I never met our host John, but the hospitality was great and the views could not be beat. When we first arrived, late at night, a couple of locals met us at the bus stop and graciously carried our luggage down the MANY steps to get to this place. If you can't handle a little cardio, I wouldn't recommend it. Make sure you have everything you need before leaving for the day, because you won't want to go back down for a forgotten cell phone.

Denmark’s Urban Haven
In recent times, residents of cities have tried to stop the architecture of their streets being used as a playground for the adventurous. Here in Denmark, they have an exception to the rule, allowing its youth to take to the rinds and bends of the concrete in ways never seen by the naked eye before.

Chasing History
Walking sticks. Romance languages. Thousand-year-old buildings and ruins. Calm demeanor. Spirit of Elijah. Before I entered high school, I found out I was a large percentage French on my father's side. I saw the pictures and learned the stories of my Lecocq ancestors. Entering high school, I opted for French instead of the more practical Spanish of the area, just so I could feel closer to them. This was one of my hugest steps on the road to figuring out my identity.I studied more French in college, and did extensive family history/genealogical research after joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But there was always a missing link.

Road Trip Rookies
London, Ontario - Marienville, Pennsylvania Nov. 11 - Nov. 13 2016 This was the trip that started it all. Most people get the travel bug from lush beaches, week-long treks in the Outback, historical excursions in Europe — you get the idea. But for me, all it took was a three day road trip with the right people.

Never Visit a German Horse Farm in December (Episode 1). Top Story - September 2017.
So I decided to go and work on a German horse farm in December. I had several reasons for doing so — not least of which was the desire to remove myself very thoroughly from all possibility of having to get involved with Christmas that year. I justified the decision very well, I thought. My reasoning was excellent and my resolve was rock solid. Not a single furrowed brow from any of my friends or acquaintances could sway me. I swept all potential obstacles aside and was so determined to escape Christmas that even a strength-sapping cough at the tail end of a two-week cold bug wasn't enough to stop me from embarking on my incredibly well-planned adventure.
