Notes from a writer with wanderlust

When I was a kid, I read every story I could find about far away places, travel and transportation. In fact, my favorite book was The Little Yellow Bus" about a girl who took the bus to visit her grandmother. As I grew up, I still loved travel -- the energy in airports, getting up early for a family road trip, I even looked forward to business trips.
Then one day, I met my husband who had dreamed of traveling around the world. We spent our honeymoon on a trip around the world visiting 33 countries on all seven continents. Not surprisingly, I loved every minute of it.
Since then, we've lived in the US, France and Australia and may never "settle down".
My writing -- the stories I write for children, my travel blog (www.30somethingtravel.blogspot.com) and my musings here -- all attempt to bring bits and pieces of the amazing world around us to readers wherever they are. ...more
