Travel has come to mean many different things to me. Growing up, travel was all family vacations where we would all five pile into the minivan and drive from California to Illinois to visit my grandparents. We would earn a quarter per page for each book we read and come up with ridiculous games to pass the time. 

After college, travel became a long weekend with my best friend to celebrate her birthday in some warm, beachy place. 

Now, I am very used to flying and go places multiple times a year. From pinball shows and NASCAR races, to a bit of time away, to spending time at waterparks with friends, we go everywhere constantly. One thing is for sure, I'll need my passport soon.
