So I like to travel...why else would I be on this site! But the one thing I like to find out when I go somewhere is some sort of historical fact...so a lot of what I write about will have some sort of history in with it. I feel that if you don't know where something came from you really can't appriciate what you're doing, where you're going and why you went there. I feel that if you do this then you will appriciate that destination a lot more; and you will be able to find more enjoyable things to do while you're visiting!

Right now in my life I am getting ready to move to Minneapolis to try a new chapter in my life...I can't wait...right now I see more on the road than where I am at in my life now.

If you have any other questions just ask!


Your monitor looks a little dirty, so I sent you a personal cleaner.
