We’ve filled this website with reasons you should travel, but what about us? What inspires us to travel? Are we working on any travel projects or goals we haven’t really covered in the blog? Do we have any advice or lessons learned to make your travel journey more fulfilling? 

The Best Global Perspective Starts at Home

One of the top reasons many people, including us, travel is to expand your horizons and gain new global perspectives of the world. But what good are those perspectives if you have nothing to compare it to? That’s why it’s so important to travel and experience your own country, ideally before you set off on your adventure around the world. So we’ve made it a goal to visit all 50 US States, as well as the District of Columbia and the American territories.

After seeing so much of the wide diversity throughout the United States, we wanted to take it a step further and get to know our neighbors as well. As a result, it remains our goal to visit all 13 Canadian provinces and as many Mexican states as safely possible. The shaded states and provinces on the map below are the ones we’ve visited.
