Passport Stamps

Places I’ve been….

1. United States of America: Since they are our neighbors, to me this is a given.  Have visited many states many times.
2. England: Home of my best friend.  I always feel like I have arrived home when I get off the plane in London.  Have also been there many times and visited a lot of the country.  Love North Devon!
3. Scotland: I did a brief barmaiding stint at a hotel near Campbelltown in 2001…what an adventure THAT was!
4. Switzerland: I worked in Adelboden for a winter over the 2000/2001 snowboarding season & consequently traveled to a lot of ski areas in the country.
5. Holland: Amsterdam. Enough said.
6. Czech Republic: Visited Prague & the countryside surrounding the city. Beautifully historic.
7. Norway: Spent a few days with a close friend in Stavanger.  Stunningly beautiful country, will one day return to see more of it.  After I win the lottery.
8. Spain: Hung out in Ibiza for a week in 2009 with our English BFFs.  Gorgeous, sunny, and F U N.
9. Thailand: All in all have spent 3 months traveling the entire country between 2004 & 2010/2011.  One of my favorites!  Will return repeatedly.
10. Laos: Spent 3 weeks there in 2004.  Got dengue fever.  Being sick wasn’t fun, but it is a beautiful country nonetheless.  Need to go there again and not get sick.
11. Vietnam: Spent 4 weeks traveling from the far north to the south, doing a lot of beach time in 2004.  Absolutely loved it.
12. Cambodia: 4 incredible weeks touring the country in 2004.  The Angkor Temples are spectacular & Phnom Penh is something that I think everyone needs to see.
13. Indonesia: 4 weeks in Bali in 2004 learning to surf.  Didn’t love Kuta Beach, but really liked the rest of the island.  Stunning countryside.
14. Burma: Only for a visa-renewal run in 2004.  In and out in one day.
15. Mexico: Over the years I have visited Puerto Vallarta twice and Cancun once.  Always all-inclusive.  Not my preferred way to travel, but it was always fun. In 2011 I visited Sayulita twice and stayed at a beautiful yoga retreat overlook the sea. LOVED it.
16. Nicaragua: Spent 6 weeks in this impoverished Central American country at the end of 2011/beginning of 2012, and my life has been forever changed as a result…I’m in Nica-love.

…this list is ever expanding – I want to go everywhere I haven’t been!  Where have your travels taken you?  I love to hear about off the beaten track places!
