Around this time last year, I took the plunge and launched my SamiM Adventures travel blog. It has always been a dream of mine to run a travel blog but for some reason, I had hemmed-and-hawed about it for so many years. On a whim, I sat down and purchased the domain. Within a week, I had this site up and running. Once I have my mind set on something, I stayed up ALL the hours and worked on it to make it perfect! A year has passed by and oh, what an adventure it has been (see what I did there). This year I have traveled more and written more than I have ever before. Are y’all tired of hearing me blab?
From Savannah, Georgia to California, all the way to Europe, 2017 has been a good year.
