As the nickname implies, I have traveled a lot. Although many have asked why I am named after the Hollywood movie “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” nothing could be farther from the truth.  If you have heard of the expression Ms Smarty Pants, well that is getting closer to the source of my nickname given to me over the past couple years of living much of my life with a suitcase in hand (Ironically, suitcase sounds very similar to my last name).

I continue to travel a lot. It’s what interests me. It’s the part of my life that continues to educate me each and every step, flight, or leg.

The wise quote that grounds many of my posts is:

“Every occasion in life can be categorized either as a good time or a good story.”

I hope you enjoy my good times and good stories.

Sincerely,  Ms Traveling Pants (aka Heidi S)
