Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Erin and I’m so glad you decided to stop by.

I’ve been a history junkie since I was a kid and have had the opportunity to travel and see several historic places over the past few years. I’ve really enjoyed learning about the history of the places I’ve been and really want to share what I’ve learned with others. Hopefully you will enjoy the beauty and the culture of the places I’ve seen as much as I do.

Be sure to check for new posts on Mondays.
