Earlier trips with my family consisted of either 10-hour long road trips to Quebec City or three hour flights to the Caribbean Island of St. John.
Following my father’s new musical endeavor in playing the Oud we focused on visiting places where the instrument was part of the culture starting in Africa and Europe.
In college, Semester At Sea was an opportunity where I could see 13 countries over the span of six months while living on the MV explorer. I considered the experience a “tasting menu” of the countries I visited, many that I wanted to explore further in later years.
I have been asked several times over the years for recommendations of the places I have visited. I thought this would be the opportunity to share with you my journey abroad and have a home for all of my unique experiences.
