It's Valentine's Day on Saturday, in case you hadn't heard! I debated for quite some time about what approach I was going to take for my Love theme this week.

Groundhog Day results: Six more weeks of winter, not appealing at all to this Florida girl currently getting used to the weather in the Netherlands! I've been here for 6 months, and am so glad that the days are lengthening. Of course, the time period from sunrise to sunset is still the shortest when compared to all of the other places I've lived: Baltimore, Maryland, and Orlando, Florida, in the U.S., as well as Athens, Greece.

From dune buggies on the island of Kos in Greece (I wouldn't pick up the hitchhiking goat though) to red double-decker buses in London, ditch the car, and find a plethora of possible alternative modes of transportation, whether you're traveling in Europe or the United States. My tips right now are limited to those two places, since I haven't visited any others...yet! New Year's Resolutions! We've all made them before, and most of the time they're repeats from years past. My resolution for 2015 is unlike any of my prior ones, which I was never able to keep past the first month or so of the new year, and usually included some form of dieting or exercising! This year I'm going to connect travelers, teachers, and tourists around the globe via this blog, and other social media sites.
