Before I met my girlfriend in Davis in 2013, I had never traveled much outside of the places I had lived. I once went to the Bahamas on a cruise, and I had been to Ontario, Canada. Otherwise, my entire existence was between Michigan and Florida with a few stops in between. In 2014, with some encouragement, I bought a ticket to fly to Istanbul. That trip instilled a wonder for the rest of the world too, and I’ve been lucky to have her as a travel partner for many amazing trips.
Here is a running tally of the places I’ve been over the past few years with a one photo summary of each place. (work in progress)
