Hi, I’m Ang

I’ve found that life feels richest when I’m exploring — whether it’s new places, fun activities, delicious food, or creative hobbies.

I live near the Rocky Mountains and I love to explore–my own state of Colorado, as well as other states in the U.S. and countries around the globe.  I’ve been incredibly lucky to be able to visit a variety of places around the world, often with my husband Jim and our four kids. 

I created this travel blog as a place to share the info I’ve gathered through traveling and exploring. I hope the information here can help you more easily plan your own travel adventures and give you confidence to start exploring.
