The world has so much to offer and I feel blessed to have been able to see so many parts of it. While I love where I live and couldn't imagine myself anywhere else, it is so fun to visit other places and soak up another culture even if it is just a couple of states away.
When I was twenty years old I went on a study abroad to Jerusalem. This was one of the best things to happen to me. I learned about two completely different cultures and learned to love and appreciate both of them. This period of time engaged me into world affairs which I still try to maintain.
I have been to over 3/4 of the fifty states and hope to hit them all someday. My favorites as a child were California (Disneyland), Missouri (the arch), and Washington (space needle). I love the landmarks. As an adult I have become a huge fan of New York and Hawaii.
My boys have been lucky enough to visit many places and even have three stamps in their passports. I am hoping to continue to add the list. I have never been to Europe and as a fashionista feel like I should visit Paris. Hopefully soon. Each place I go I learn something new and gain a better appreciation for different people and cultures. There really is beauty everywhere!

Can you please take me to Paris with you?
When I see the arch, I think of you because I remember you coming home and telling me all about this huge arch. It is good to see the world!
Great post Jess. I love traveling too.....can't wait for you to get to see Europe.
