New Adventures

I think that everyone understands the excitement of traveling. All of the excitement starts as soon as you walk into the airport. There really isn't anything like it, being in an airport. You see people saying bye to people they love. You see people smiling, laughing and being so carefree because they are going on vacation. Some people look stressed, some people look tired and some people look thrilled, as though they are about to start an incredible journey. The amount of diversity you see in an airport is sometimes overwhelming- but I find it fascinating.

I have always loved to travel. I am American but my Mom is a teacher and I was able to study at an International School in Brussels, Belgium for 8 years (middle school/high school years). It just completely changed my life and I found myself falling in love with travel, exposure to different cultures and learning from people that come from a completely different place. You truly grow as a person when you travel and you learn a great deal about who you are and everything this world has to offer.

I have been living in Dubai for 1 year and 8 months working as an English teacher and the amount of cultures here is just incredible. It has been such a different experience, one that I have loved. However, my contract is coming to an end and I decided to pursue something I love - TRAVEL.

In two weeks I will start working for an airline in Abu Dhabi as cabin crew. This airline travels all over the world and I couldn't be more thrilled. However, part of the thrill of experiencing different countries is being able to share what you experienced with others.

This blog will be about all the places I see. I will post pictures, comment on hotels, food, luxuries, anything that captures my attention, I will write about.

I can't wait to take this next journey in my life. Should be a fun ride.
