If you’re reading this, I’m sure you’re already quite aware of my addiction to traveling. My husband also loves to travel, but I believe he secretly thinks I’m a little crazy... and he’s probably right! We often travel and explore together, and have had many spectacular and exciting adventures in our 20+ years of exploring. I’ve decided to blog for this trip, because it provides a more expansive way to express what I’m thinking and experiencing. I hope you enjoy Travels with Nance!!
