Hometown: Seattle, Washington USA
I finally took that trip around the world that I always wanted to do. The catalyst was my experience with breast cancer in 2005, which taught me that if you really want to do something, don't wait! As soon as I regained my health (and I'm actually more healthy now than I was before diagnosis), I started planning my trip. I traveled solo for a year, and I met amazing people along the way. My itinerary included Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Europe. I also added the USA as part of my trip on the way back home.

Living Lounge HostelIf you ever have a chance to go to Lisbon, I highly recommend this hostel! It's rated the #1 hostel in Europe by the NY Times. They had a cook who made dinner for us each night for only 8 Euros, including wine and dessert. They also gave us a free walking tour of the old city. It was a great place to meet other travelers and experience the hospitality of Portugal.
Wow! I'm living vicariously through you!! I hear you're coming home soon! Thanks so much for sharing your travels with all of us! I look forward to seeing you!
More great pictures! As usual, your pictures make me want to visit a place that I had no prior desire to visit. You know how to tell a story! You look great in the coastline shot and your last picture of the fish made me laugh!
I Love Lisbon Too Your pictures are totally inspiring. The beauty of Lisbon is phenominal. You look happy, in spite of the sardines :-). Hope all is well.

Hey Traveler We finally got some commercial internet here in the desert so of course I had to check out your site. Portugal looks incredible! Just in case you were curious... that bread with the eggs in it is called jachnoon it's a traditional jewish sabbath dish and it's made a lot in the middle east and India. Hope this finds you well, in good spirits and with good friends!
