About me:

A former ex-pat with a case of wanderlust. Originally from Boston, I lived and worked in Ireland from 2006-2009 and I'm back in the States now but I miss Europe and return every time I have the chance. I've traveled to four continents so far and hope to eventually visit all seven.

I'm fired up on:

Love: running, yoga, cooking, wine, and good food. Running my first half marathon this October in Boston.

Tunes I rock out to:

It depends! All across the board from dance music for running, to classical for thinking, and everything in between. Lately I love Snow Patrol - it reminds me of being back across the pond.

Travel style:

I love seeing natural beauty - it inspires me. Beaches, cliffs, the sea, mountains, lakes, rivers, fields, sunsets, sunrise, and more. I love hiking in the country, and getting lost in city streets.

Quote:

“He who returns from a journey is not the same as he who left” -Chinese proverb

Sports I do:

Running, yoga, hiking

Favorite artist(s):

Edward Hopper - Nighthawks is my favorite paiting

Favorite books:

Badlands, Ruinair, On The Couch, A House in Fez

Languages spoken, other than English:

Trying to learn Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I lived abroad in Ireland and started to realize I was often the only non-Irish person in my group on a night out!

Why I travel:

To see how few places I've actually been

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

On a morning run on the beach somewhere warm

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

With a glass of wine on a patio overlooking the water

Before I die I'd like to:

Travel to as many countries as possible, start a company that I am passionate about

Let's collaborate:

I'm looking to find other travel blogs like mine!

Welcome to Matador and good luck with the half-marathon! There are a couple of marathon runners on Matador-- Turner Wright is one of them and he's written a couple articles on the subject that you can find by scrolling through the archives.

Peace,
Julie
