My first blog post! It’s kind of intimidating. I mean, really – there’s pressure to make “the right” post as my “big” introduction. Or maybe there isn’t…

When I was contemplating starting this blog, so many things went through my mind – not the least of which was “is anyone really interested in reading this??”. Luckily, a wise friend reminded me that the number one reason to write a blog is for your own self. “If others enjoy it, then that’s a bonus!” I like that take not just on the blog, but on life – so that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 🙂

I have lots of ideas about things that I want to share in these pages. Many years ago I was bitten by the travel bug and have seen some truly amazing things around the world. I can’t wait to share the stories of those places in a way that brings with it my own unique perspective, perhaps even sometimes one that you hadn’t considered. Often it’s the small things that touch you and frequently those memories are lost in the recounting of an itinerary or the pretty pictures of famous sites. I want to share stories of people and places, things of beauty, and just plain interesting facts. I’m naturally curious and ask a lot of questions, so maybe we’ll even learn something along the way.

“Tricia’s Travels” resonates in my heart because “traveling” means more to me than just the physical places I have visited. We all travel through life on unique paths. Sometimes the road is easy to follow, and sometimes there are challenges. The choices we make are a reflection of our past experiences and define our future. I hope that my stories give you a little sense of who I am and make you smile. Let’s enjoy the journey together. 🙂
