I love to travel - if money were no object I'd travel for at least half-the-year.  Thus far I have visited 28 countries on 5 continents - which I would qualify as a fair amount of travel.  When I hit 50 countries on 7 continents, I'll consider myself well-traveled. 

I was quite lucky in my younger years, as I had the opportunity to travel across Europe as part of my summer job.  I then used the money I made at that job to fund a 2 month trip through Australia and New Zealand.

After graduation I did a 6-month volunteer placement with Engineers without Borders in Ghana, West Africa

Since entering the workforce and becoming a parent these trips have become less frequent and shorter in duration.  But we recently did a big trip to Germany & Croatia with the kids - and we found out they are AWESOME travellers.  So we are looking forward to more adventures in the coming years.

I've taken hundreds of photos during my travels, but only a handful of them evoke a sense of nostalgia when I look back on them.  These are the photos I've shared here.
