Hello! I am a mostly lifelong resident of the UP of Michigan (a "Yooper,"), a self-proclaimed Yooper Ambassador, world traveler, and occasional blogger. My grounded, dependable camera-shy husband Todd enjoys traveling with me on occasion, but he also prefers the more traditional Yooper pastimes of hunting, camping, ice fishing, and snowmobiling.
I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, because I am also a lifelong learner and find that folks from other cultures and walks of life are the best teachers. When in Rome, Russia, or Rio - eat the food, drink the adult beverages, and soak in what it's like to be a local!
Having so far visited all but two continents and experienced so many wonderful cultures, I'm eager to pay it forward and share our little corner of the world as well.
