Hi there and welcome to my blog!
I’m Toni Patterson, full-time career woman and full(er)-time travel dreamer.
My mission is to show you that you can experience the world, even one vacation week at a time.
Like many of you, I need to fit my traveling in with vacation days, long holiday weekends, and over my kid’s spring break. I’m here to help you make the most of every vacation day.
As a child of immigrant parents, I’ve understood – since birth – that there are beautiful and exciting places to explore outside the US, as well as in it.
We often traveled to my parents’ home countries when I was growing up, so I’ve been an international traveler all my life.
As an adult, I love my job, but I love traveling and exploring new countries more.
I’ve never let the constraints of my 9-5 prevent me from exploring new cultures, experiencing awesome new adventures, and exposing my daughter to the wider world.
And I’m here to make sure you don’t either!
So far, I’ve visited over 20 countries, and counting.
When I’m not traveling internationally, I live in Pennsylvania, and love exploring and writing about Philadelphia, home of my beloved (though often frustrating) Philadelphia Eagles.
