Hi! I'm Anne Kerzel a retired teacher and part time graphic designer from Oregon. I have always loved travel! It began on a train when I was 5 and I will never forget the feeling it gave me. I caught the travel bug at an early age and have sought it out since. 

Travel is the ultimate adventure. To this day, I get excited just thinking about my next destination to explore. My adventures have taken me to more than 15 countries and I'm adding to the list each year.

What I love about travel are the connections I make. I love connecting with different cultures, it's people, the food and their surroundings. I also learn something with each encounter, from the kindness of a person sharing their stories to a person's helpfulness when I look lost (though not often and mostly on purpose).
