Shake, shimmy and be merry wherever you are
 

Hi! My name is Debra and I am an avid traveler, theatre lover and dancer (particularly bellydance - hence "raq" (pronounced like rock) for raqs sharqi my primary style), who plays as a marketer by day. I fell in love with traveling after my first trip to Israel when I was 14 years old - and haven't stopped. I have just returned from visiting Colombia, my 25th country, but there is still SO much of the world I haven't seen. Everywhere I go is an immersive education and while it's impossible to share everything, I wanted to start sharing as many of my experiences as possible...and hopefully inspire some of your own adventures and stories. Enjoy!

Photography is my own.

 

In 2013, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Turkey. This photo from Cappadocia cannot begin to do it justice, but it's a start.

Summer 2014 brought me back to Central America - specifically Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. Just a few shots of the incredible people and scenery.

I never fancied myself a bird-watcher, but Costa Rica in 2012 changed all that. I absolutely fell IN LOVE with nature.

Paradise in the Philippines and temples in Taiwan - gorgeous views from Asia.
