A Traveler's Library Blog Posts
Like a desert packrat, I collect experiences and observations on my travels which have included Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean as well as forty-four of the fifty states. Although I have never been homesick for home, I regularly have severe bouts of homesickness for Greece. I have been their five times, and covered much of the country and several islands, but I can never get enough. I also loved Italy — that Mediterranean atmosphere gets me.
Amongst our featured bloggers, A Traveler's Library is recognized as Global Travel Expert
