One of the most amazing things that can come from traveling the world is when you are confronted with a ‘pinch yourself’ moment. A place in time when you cannot believe you are doing what you are doing, that you are where you are in that moment, and everything just hits you with a sense of awe and wonder.

Time for our next Travel Throwback and today I share with you a photograph taken about thirty miles from where I live now, almost thirty years ago. How wonderful to see that in all the mobility and travels in the last thirty one years I can return to the same areas from my past. For a third culture kid like myself, that is as closest to having a ‘home’ as I can find. I look forward to going back to Stonehenge soon to see it with my husband and sons this time. Tis a shame you cannot get as close to it as you once could but will be awesome to see such an amazing historical structure outside of our current home in Bath, England.
My favourite thing about Travel Tuesday is having a location where like minded bloggers and readers can meet to share our passion of travel. The best part for having that camaraderie across an online forum is you get a global view from many different perspectives. I will share with you my most favourite travel tips that I have picked up from my travels around the world.

We are over half way through Love Week and so close to Valentines Day. I have been having fun sharing with you some of my most favourite photographs taken by our long time friend and photographer Miriam Pinkston. We we asked why we chose Wales as our destination for our Vow Renewal and honestly it has the best of everything. Breathtaking views, rich culture, history, romantic settings, and picturesque coastlines. The places I have lived the longest have always been by the sea and it was so important that we get our pictures taken by the ocean. Continue reading
It is Travel Tuesday and we continue Love Week here at A Compass Rose. Today I take you to the coastal resort of Portmeirion. This is where we had our ceremony for our 10th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal in Wales. It is a really beautiful town that has a very Italian look to it as it is nestled in the woods and on the coast of the Welsh ocean. The colours are beautiful and it was a perfect place to renew our vows. Continue reading
