After months of working with Fathom and learning all about the incredible work they’re doing, I couldn’t wait to experience a Fathom cruise for myself. But it turns out, the timing just wasn’t right for me. When I found out the wonderful news in January that I was pregnant with my first child, I knew I’d […] Read more…
I’m often asked what I like most about travel. It’s a tough question to answer since what’s not to like about travel? New faces, new places and new experiences that shape my perspective on the world.
