- Countries traveled: 7.
- First trip overseas: Included
swimming in the Dnieper River, climbing the Carpathian Mountains, and contracting a souvenir:
Giardia.
- Best travel tip: Don't drink the water.
- Best place for gelato in Italy: Il Gelato di San Crispino, Rome. Their grapefruit gelato has all the flavor and none of the bite!
- Favorite part of traveling: New cuisines! I love odd flavor combinations.
- Best tourist trap city: Rothenburg, Germany.
- Best meal abroad: A home-cooked meal by some locals who own a bed and breakfast in the Carpathian Mountains. Don't ask me what it was, just ask me if it was delicious.
- Scariest travel moment: On a 13-hour train ride in Ukraine, I had to sleep in the same cabin as a man with only 1 eye. I never slept; that missing eye was watching me, I swear.
- Good to know: Don't forget that Spanish and Italian are very similar languages. You can get farther than you think in Italy if you paid attention in those high school classes.
- Still on the list: Hawaii, Thailand, Africa, the Middle East.
