Going Public

Up until this point, I've kept my posts private on this blog. I haven't wanted to boast all of my thoughts, dreams and experiences to the world, but enjoyed writing them for my own remembrance, growth and learning. Now, I feel it's time to share my experiences and to also learn from others.

Travel Teaches... why name my blog this? This blog is designed to commemorate holistic travel experiences, by that I mean to speak of sights, smells, sounds, tastes and feelings. When I travel, I like to think of how all senses are engaged at once. When I'm in a new place, I ask myself these questions: How is my body reacting? If my emotions are changing, which of my five senses is this due to and why? What am I learning from this experience? Of course I take many pictures, write down events and even keep souvenirs in hopes of finishing scrap books for every trip one day.... But the memory of all five senses combined in a new experience is something that can never be transferred; you must experience it yourself. My goal in sharing my experiences in travel is that people might relate, might learn and might share with me as well.

Let's go places!
