Taking the Path Previously Traveled
Blog: Ottsworld - 12 April 2012
“I know you, you’ve been here before?” I was stunned that they would remember me after 4 years and countless travelers coming through their doors. I don’t really think that I stand out at all, I have no real defining features, no distinct accents, and with each year the landscape of my face changes with [...]

Verona, Piza, and let’s throw in Pompeii too!
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 9 May 2011
After a long hiatus, I return to my travel blog with dreams of Italy. I need to go back to Europe. This time of year always makes me think of Europe since it was around this time, 10 years ago, that I first went "backpacking" from England to Greece visiting 9 countries in between.

On our [...]
