The more I see & the more I do, the more I want to see & the more I want to do – me
Why “Checkmarks”? I’m a perpetual list-maker and ‘checking off the boxes’ gives me a great sense of accomplishment. When it comes to my Bucket List though, I don’t ever want to be done checking off the boxes – I keep adding to the list way faster than I can check things off and even repeating.
Welcome to my blog! I’m not sure I’m ready to take this step but if I wait for the perfect moment, it’s never going to happen – I read somewhere that it is ok to publish ‘my crappy first draft’ so here it is! You’re getting on the ground floor; this is all new to me so you can expect the site to evolve and improve over time.
I love to write & tell stories. I’ve been sharing my travel adventures with family & friends, calling it ‘my blog’ when in reality, it was only an email distribution list! I have finally decided to make it a ‘real’ blog.
Here, I hope to share a variety of experiences. Most will focus on my vacations / trips as I try to fit in as many new places as I can and keep returning to some of my favourite spots. I’m not excluding the idea of sharing closer-to-home-adventures as well, maybe a bike ride that didn’t go quite as expected, a funny encounter or another unbelievable taxi ride (I have the worst luck when it come to cabs!). My goal is to deliver entertaining, humorous stories while sharing real experiences and facts about the places & activities I’m discovering.
Don’t expect my posts to come at any regular intervals. While traveling, I like to write / post daily (if I’m not too exhausted) if the wifi situation allows for it – it’s a fun way for me to reflect on my day. In between my travels, when it’s just regular old life, posts will be considerably less frequent. Consider subscribing to the blog in order to get notified of new entries.
Let’s get started!
