Through my job as a managing editor for a travel magazine, I have been blessed with the opportunity to visit many bucket list destinations and learn what some of the best activities in the area are.

From Portugal, Lisbon, to Valencia, Spain; to Alberta and Ontario, Canada; to Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Maya, Mexico; to London, Manchester, Bristol, Devon, Stratford upon Avon, Bath, Wales and more in the UK; to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and Suratani in Thailand, as well as Luang Prabang in Laos, and Alaska, US. These are just a few of the destinations I’ve had the opportunity to dive into. Here, you’ll find travel suggestions such as where to eat, visit, and play in the destination. I’ll be sharing photo slideshows with snip-its of a few of my favorite places. But, I’ll also be sharing stories of those who I meet along my journeys, plus favorite foods and cooking lessons, as well as bookstores from around the world. Because a few of my favorite things to do when abroad is visit bookstores and churches in new (to me) places.
