If you know me personally, you know that I'm a travel-aholic. If I had the funds, I'd travel all over the world. I absolutely love to meet new people and experience fascinating cultures. With that said, its official, I'm heading to EUROPE! Yes, my friends, all over Europe for 3 weeks! I can't begin to tell you how incredibly excited I am. Not only that I get to travel, but that the main goal of the trip is to stock up on new gems, new metals and be insipired to create new designs.
Many of my current designs are European inspired as it is, but I'm always on the up and up with style, so this trip is a necessity if you will! One of the cool items on my agenda, is that I will meet with a renowned Polish Artisan, who handcrafts Amber jewelry in Poland. He's been featured in galleries around the world. He will personally show me the ropes, his process, his tools, his inspirations. I am beyond thrilled! Perhaps this will be my transition to metalsmithing? Only the future can tell!
While I travel, I'll keep my fans updated on my where abouts and excitements on facebook. I hope you'll follow along in my joys of travel.

I found out some interesting facts while planning my trip. Did you know, only 37% of US citizens have passports? In 2010, statistics showed that 50-60% of Americans have never left the country in their entire lives, never. Wow! So many people in other countries would die to travel (they can't leave their countries due to rules/laws/government), and we have the awesome freedom to go nearly anywhere we please and we don't exercise it. Travel folks, the world is so beautiful! People are so beautiful & kind to travelers.
With that, here's what I'm listening to right now. It's got a cool beat, makes me want to do a road trip!
Train - Drive by
