About this blog

Twenty countries ... ten months ... one step at a time. After working and saving on Capitol Hill for six years, it's time to make my childhood dream come true. Some have laughed at the idea, while others have cheered me on. Hopefully this blog will keep you both laughing and cheering as I embark on a once in a lifetime journey around the world. Surely there will be ups and downs ... but that's all a part of the magic carpet ride.
