After my first two solo international trips in 2017—and months of second guessing myself—I decided to start this blog. There would never be a “right” time to start or a perfect way to go about it. I just had to do it. And I did.

At that time, I’d visited seven countries, not including the United States, which felt like a LOT for this small town girl who dreamt of visiting far off places as a kid. But, I wasn’t about to stop at seven, and originally planned for this blog to be all about my travels. And it was—until Covid. That’s when my blog pivoted to include more of my everyday life, faith, and life lessons.

But, I still do love to travel and share my travels to inspire you. So this blog will always incorporate my adventures, too.

My 2025 Travel Milestone

This month, I hit a milestone. I traveled to my 25th country outside of the U.S. So, I thought I’d share a list of the countries I’ve visited, along with links to any corresponding blogs I’ve written about each one.
