Sharing Our Travel Adventures – Top Tips, Big Mistakes, and A Whole Lot of Passion
Adventures await as there are places to go, things to do, people to meet, and food to eat. It’s one stop at a time for us, soaking up new experiences along the way. Welcome to our travel blog. It’s a place where we’ll be sharing our travel adventures.
Our journey unfolds here in stories and photos. So, join us as we share our travels in our blog, The Places Where We Go.

Starting Our Travel Blog
One of our favorite vacation spots is Sequoia National Park. We’ve camped there over a dozen times. We’ve also stayed at the Wuksachi Lodge. We were sitting around the campfire one night, sharing our travel adventure stories. That’s when our son’s girlfriend at the time said, “Hey, you two should start a travel blog.” And the idea to start our travel blog was born.
Within a few weeks, we were due to be in the United Kingdom for three weeks of travel. Passport check. Backpacks check. We start a travel blog – check.
Sharing Travel Stories
And our travel blog was born. Our journey unfolds here. We’re always looking for a bit of an adventure. As we say in our podcast intro:
Sometimes we travel far. Sometimes, we explore the places in our local backyard. Wherever we go, we’ll share highlights and top tips from our travels.
We hope you’ll bookmark us to help us plan your future travel adventures.
Who We Are
We’re two ordinary people with regular lives. We have jobs, watch grandkids, and have typical family obligations. But we always find time to travel, whether local or more exotic travel adventures.
Art – My rearview mirror includes an extended residency in corporate America. My professional work experience covered insurance underwriting, marketing, and corporate education. With a degree in Economics and an M.B.A., I most recently ran a Data and Analytics department. There’s been shiny trophies and awards to put on a shelf. Most importantly, that experience helped to fund our past and future travels.
I’m also a lifelong musician – often found on a piano or organ bench and standing behind keyboards in rock and roll settings.
My keyboard work is featured on the album “All We Are” by Willard Overstreet and The Highborn Kinsmen.
My solo piano albums get streams; I’m thankful for the listeners.
And my original music finds its way as the soundtrack to our YouTube videos on our channel, The Places Where We Go.
Over time, more of this instrumental music will find its way to my Pond5 channel, Azure Soundscapes, where anybody, even you, can access my music to use in your social media.
Julie – Mother of three children. They are all involved in the music industry – playing, performing, and even building instruments. These days, when we’re not traveling, Julie is taking care of our grandkids. They’re the best.
Our packing expert extraordinaire, Julie’s eyes are also set on our future travel opportunities. You’ll find her often in our Twitter and Instagram posts most days as we share our past travel adventures.

Future Travel Plans
We’ve lived mainly in California and a little bit in Ohio, so we’ve seen a good portion of the United States. But even after all these years, there are still so many new places to visit. Some even include places in our local backyard. So, stay tuned for more domestic travel adventures. That’s a given.
We’ve also crossed the pond, as they say, multiple times, with travels to the United Kingdom, Italy, and Poland as our main destinations to date. Our bucket list is filled with more trips around the globe. We’ll tell you about our future global travels as well.
And there are other places to which we’ve ventured – The Yukon, Mexico, and the Caribbean, to name a few. There will undoubtedly be more scattered places around the world where we will set foot in the future. Some may be road trips from our home. Other travels will include RV adventures with friends, overseas travel, and cruises. We’ll share our travel adventures with you when we embark on new destinations.
