How to Plan the Perfect Multi-Country Trip
Exploring several countries in one trip is an exciting way to experience different cultures, landscapes, and cuisines all in one adventure. However, with the thrill
As the nickname implies, I have traveled a lot and I continue to do so always with a touch of sass, fun, and cleverness. Being very curious and a perpetual student, I feel that traveling is truly the best form of education with lessons in each and every step, meal, or person I meet.
Most of my travel stories and tips are geared for adventure travel and culture tourism seekers. This can mean active travel in the great outdoors, exploring unique and/or remote destinations, and always with a touch of local culture through its cuisine, wine, music, dance, language, or other.
I close most of my posts with, “Here’s to more good times and good stories.” It comes from my belief that every occasion in life can be categorized as either a good time or a good story. And, isn’t it so true? Some of the best stories that I write are about less than optimal situations, like a run-in with a 1,000 pound tree limb or spending Christmas Eve in a brothel. However, they all are indeed good stories. (In fact, the story of the tree turned into a book, When All Balls Drop.)
I hope you enjoy my good times and good stories.
Sincerely,
Ms Traveling Pants (aka Heidi Siefkas)
