In 1994, I left the country for the first time ever to participate in a German exchange program. A few weeks after returning, two of my friends died in a car accident after leaving my house. To have a first hand look at the other side of the world and the other side of life in one summer changes a girl forever. At least it did me. From that summer on, I have wholeheartedly understood that people and time are the only things that truly matter. With that realization, I’ve made a life out of traveling, spending the most time possible with the people I love, and doing the things that I love.
In 2008 I started itching for a way to share my stories and adventures with more than just close friends and family. I thought a blog would be perfect, but what to call it? “Blue Lollipop” came to me in an instant. In the years leading up to 1994 during soccer season, my friends and I practically considered those blue razz lollipops with the gum inside a food group. We consumed boxes of them together and to this day they have a special mojo among us now grown women who played at MAU. “Road” was the perfect addition to describe my love for travel. Thus, Blue Lollipop Road was born!
