My post title has several implications, I hope I can focus long enough to capture all of it in one post. If not, I may have to bleed into my other posts in the near future. I must admit, I’ve neglected my blogging duties and responsibilities. For that I need to apologize for those who were readers before, I hope to wheel you back in with my blogging charm! 
I feel like I’ve been around the world and back, for those of you who have travelled in the past you might know what that’s like. For those of you who haven’t strayed away from your stomping grounds I recommend you do jump in the car, train or plane and go! In the past I have written about going to Afghanistan and a little bit about being in Afghanistan, I didn’t really have time to do anything but work (for that I am oh-so-grateful) so that is why the blog went to the wayside. Upon returning from Afghanistan I packed my bags again to travel Europe and then live temporarily in Switzerland. Let me just say that it has certainly been an incredible ride!
Upon returning from Afghanistan in December I went to Spain to visit my sister, Kristin. She is currently living in Spain and going to university there. She loves it and I got to experience that huge part of her life. That certainly meant a lot to me, but I know it made her happy to experience her life in Spain as well. She absolutely loves Spain, I can totally understand why too! It’s so beautiful there—the culture, food, people, dress and pretty much everything! There are some similarities, but I found more differences that I could appreciate and enjoy more than what our cultures have in common. During that same trip we went to Italy, Italy is such a magical place. Words cannot explain! We made it to Bari (ECK, kinda scary and smelly too!), Polignano a Maré and Rome. Rome was fantastic, and I would definitely go to Polignano a Maré again! What am I talking about? I would go anywhere in Italy 2, 3, 4 times over. I loved it. Anything you ever heard about the food is true, it’s absolutely fantastic! I was a gluttonous fool. I might have had to un-button my pants a few times!
Now I am living in Switzerland, I return in early April to embark on another journey. I am redeploying, but I am working in a different capacity. I am going without expectations and I’m hoping this will ease my stress levels. We’ll see how that or if that happens! Life has a funny way of working itself out. Since living in Switzerland I have traveled to Gruyere (home of Gruyere cheese), Bulle (home of Cailler and Nestle chocolate), Lyon, France, back to Madrid and then went to Sevilla, and I recently booked a trip to Berlin. Wow, I guess I have been to a few places huh?! I’ve done what I always wanted and that was to live in Europe. It has been amazing!
Please follow me as I find interesting things to talk about, write about my latest fitness/health craze and encourage readers to become involved in active discussion in the comments section.
I look forward to posting and getting feedback in return!
Ciao!
