Traveling is wonderful. I love visiting and exploring new places, trying local foods, and people watching wherever I go. I’m looking forward to visiting my younger sister Molly Spring 2012 in Florence where she’ll be studying abroad.

When I’m not traveling, it’s always fun to look back at different souvenirs I’ve picked up on various trips-each evoking a different memory or experience.

The photos above are some of my favorite finds from my travels.

Blue Scarab- Cairo, Egypt

Ceramic Patterned Tiles- Istanbul, Turkey

Carnival Mask- Viareggio, Italy

Espresso Plate- Lausanne, Switzerland

Mexican Blanket- Acapulco, Mexico
