Seek. Explore. Discover!

So here we go! Four months to explore this beautiful world we call home. Four months to uncover the coastal secrets of Chile, China, India, and Scandinavia. Many hours and days will be spent on islands, in port cities, watching wildlife and fishing vessels, snorkeling, and just generally getting wet. Follow along at your leisure...there's no telling where this trip will take me!
