“Mark and Jean Travel to…” is a project I started in 2021 to share some of our travels with family and friends. For me, it is a way to savor our travels a second time. As Ferris reminded us, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I hope the site inspires and helps you plan your own adventures.
About the site: Travel Bytes, Journeys and The Run Collection
Travel Bytes to inspire…
Each “byte” sized Travel Byte is a 10-minute virtual getaway to interesting places, history, runs, hikes, food adventures, and sometimes misadventures.
Journeys to help you plan…
Each of the Journeys highlights one of our trips, including a detailed itinerary and a Google Map. They often include highlights from the trip and links to Travel Bytes that we enjoyed along the way.
The Run Collection to get you moving…
I love running a new city. On the first morning, I lace the shoes and set out to explore. The pictures and a route map I earn are my favorite souvenirs!
