Sacramento River
So I have been traveling for 3 months already! The time is going by so quickly! I still have 11 months to travel before I go back to work. I am really cherishing the time I have to travel, explore, and to do all the things I didn’t previously have time for. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have an opportunity such as this. It is not everyday that someone can take a year off from their job to travel. I do not take this opportunity for granted. I’ve been saving up and waiting for this opportunity for 6 years; I am blessed that the time is finally here! During my ‘waiting’ years, I taught for 6 years, changed grade levels, bought a house, completed my Master’s in Education and principal’s certificate, and saved up. I worked hard to earn my year off.
San Francisco
I’m so happy to have started a blog when I started this journey! It’s exciting to document my experiences as they happen. I am thrilled to share my travel stories with you! I learn something new in each destination that I visit. Each place has something unique, interesting, and totally turquoise to offer. The support and interest from my readers (and blogging community) has been overwhelming! I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for you (and I am only in my third month of blogging). It makes me that much more excited to continue writing, something I have always loved to do.

Thank you so much! It has been an incredible journey! I have been learning so much about myself along the way!
I wish I was as luck as you are at this moment. You have accomplished alot and it’s your turn to sit back and take in the view from where ever you want it to be.
