Insect larvae in the Amazon? Kangaroo in Australia? Yup, yup, and YUM.</p><p>7.  I'd never been more than 100 miles outside the U.S. until our honeymoon, when we traveled all the way to South Africa and got the Travel Bug. And I gots it bad. Since then, I've explored six continents and 55 countries… and counting!</p><p>8.  I firmly believe in copious amounts of iced coffee, hugging like you mean it, piñatas for every occasion, and a healthy dose of impropriety.</p>” class=”” _made_with_builder=”true”][/text_block][/column][/row][row][column width=”1_1″ default_padding=”” html_label=”” padding_top=”0″ padding_right=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ padding_left=”0″ background_options=”{"background":"none","color":{"background_color":{"color":"","id":"fw-custom"}},"image":{"background_image":"","background_color":{"color":"","id":"fw-custom"},"repeat":"no-repeat","bg_position_x":"","bg_position_y":"","bg_size":"","parallax":"no","overlay_options":{"overlay":"no","yes":{"background":{"color":"#b32257","id":"color_1"},"overlay_opacity_image":100}}}}” tablet=”” class=”” _array_keys=”{"background_options":"background_options"}” _made_with_builder=”true”][divider type=”fw-line-solid” divider_size=”{"size":"space-md","custom":{"margin_top":"","margin_bottom":""}}” width=”100″ bg_color=”{"color":"","id":"fw-custom"}” special_divider=”{"selected_value":"icon","text":{"title_text":"","color":{"color":"","id":"fw-custom"},"show_bg":"no","position":"","divider_size":"fw-divider-size-md"},"icon":{"icon_class":"fa fa-bicycle","color":{"id":"fw-custom","color":""},"show_bg":"no","position":"","divider_size":"fw-divider-size-md"}}” link_id=”” class=”” _array_keys=”{"divider_size":"divider_size","bg_color":"bg_color","special_divider":"special_divider"}” _made_with_builder=”true”][/divider][/column][/row][row][column width=”1_1″ default_padding=”” html_label=”” padding_top=”0″ padding_right=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ padding_left=”0″ background_options=”{"background":"none","color":{"background_color":{"color":"","id":"fw-custom"}},"image":{"background_image":"","background_color":{"color":"","id":"fw-custom"},"repeat":"no-repeat","bg_position_x":"","bg_position_y":"","bg_size":"","parallax":"no","overlay_options":{"overlay":"no","yes":{"background":{"color":"#b32257","id":"color_1"},"overlay_opacity_image":100}}}}” tablet=”” class=”” _array_keys=”{"background_options":"background_options"}” _made_with_builder=”true”][text_block text=”<p>Is there a travel topic or destination you'd love to talk more about?
