I’m always intrigued by how people introduce themselves. Most of the introductions I’ve had to give are those ones where everyone is standing in a circle before a job starts and we go over the names and positions of everyone standing there. Every now and then, they make you add a little fact about yourself that describes what you enjoy in life … for me, it’s Life cereal and Honey Nut Cheerios …. and I LOVE to travel. So that’s me in a very concise nutshell. Female. Addicted to sweet-but-not-crazy-sweet cereals. Adventurer. Oh, and I love ethnic foods … Indian (which, I’m eating at this moment-no small feat to eat with your hands and type), Moroccan (which, I had last night), Thai, Japanese … I could keep going.

So back to an introduction. I go by Zia …. or Z …. or “hey you.” I was given a great opportunity over the past 3 years to travel, a lot. I have always enjoyed a good adventure, but for the past 3 years, I had a job that paid me to go places … and it was awesome. Now, I still travel, not like before, but to (hopefully) more exotic destinations. If I have my way, I’ll be going to these places every few months, which brings me to this blog. As someone who loves to talk about places and ask for advice on which places to check out, I figured this would be the best forum to do so. So, upon the insistence of a few friends, I’ve decided to try my hand at this blogging thing.
