I make travel recommendations on my blog. When I read other people’s blogs, I often ask myself, “but how much do you really travel?” As in, can I really take their recommendations seriously? So here is a partial list of our travel experiences. Partial because I have a bad memory and have likely forgotten some.
My husband’s employers have always been supportive of me joining him whenever I want, which is fabulous and well appreciated, so some of these trips are me tagging along while he’s working 🙂
