It’s still a little early for me to be sure, but over the next few months I’ll be visiting India, driving Route 66 and hopefully spending some time in Germany and Ireland.

It’ll be my first time visiting India and I’m cautiously excited.

I’ve never been to India, but that’s been purposeful. I think I’m finally at a point where I’m ready to experience the beautiful chaos of the country.

Don’t follow the crowds, instead pick secondary cities that may be impressive, but not as busy. Also be sure to plan in advance to get the best deals on flights and hotels

Is there a destination you can’t wait to visit this year?
I’m always excited to go anywhere I haven’t been, so I’m hoping for a few of those in 2018! Near the top of the list though is Route 66. I’ve waited a long time to drive this epic route and I honestly can’t wait.
