about
Greetings fellow travelers!
Angie’s about me
My love of travel started when I was 7-years-old. We lived on a farm in southeast Missouri, until my father joined the Army. His first duty station was Ft. Riley Kansas, then on to Illesheim Germany.
Moving to Germany, and spending my childhood as an Army dependent, turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me. It instilled in me a passion for travel and adventure, that very much defines who I am today.
Growing up in Germany, it seemed as if the turn of each corner presented something new and wonderful. When I left Germany, I left a big piece of my heart behind; I call it the home of my heart.
Now, my heart pushes me to keep turning corners, and I want to take you along on my journeys!
