About Meg Travels

Welcome to Meg Travels.

My earliest travel adventures were family car trips to visit relatives.  My first question was always, “Are we there yet?” as we were pulling out of the driveway.

I’m from Lexington, Massachusetts, where there were people from around the world visiting and asking for directions to historic areas in town.  I wondered what was so interesting about my hometown.  But I did like finding out where these visitors were from.

I’ve had lots of opportunities to travel, and I’ve found that planning and researching a trip is (almost) as exciting at the trip itself.  Being able to write about my travel experiences helps me remember all the things that I like about travel.

I also want to mention that I have another blog called Meggie’s Adventures, which is about travel, thank you notes and other stories.  See you there!

  9. Thanks for checking out found in france. I am glad you enjoyed some of the posts. Perhaps next time you visit, you can come down to the south of France.

    I am enjoying your site and do understand your love of travel. I have it myself. While I write about France on that blog, my other one is poetry, photos, and musings which allows me to show photos and more from some of the other places I have visited. (poetryphotosandmusingsohmy.wordpress.com)

    Bon Voyage!

  11. Thanks for the thumb’s up on my post today. I appreciate your visit. I, too, love to travel, but, since I’m a pooch, I have to rely on my peeps to pack for me. They usually do a good job. I wish I could have traveled with them to Venice, Paris, Madrid, Seville and Bermuda when They went a while ago, but, I can’t. Maybe one day.

    Thanks again for visiting lil ‘ole moi.

    Arooo, Stuart

My husband and I have visited many of the spots you have and we have been to many of the places you’ve visited in your travel adventuring. Happy travels and I’m sure I’ll be back (here on your blog AND in Europe again!).

  27. Hello Meg, thanks for visitng The Naturephile and clicking the Like button.

    You’ve got some fine photographs here of places I’ve visited (Prague, Paris etc) and a good few more that I’d like to visit. I think it’s admirable that you learn the languages, it really enhances the whole travelling experience. Good skills!

  28. Thanks so much for the likes on my Photo Garden series. Since your first visit, I visit you again and again…your travel photos are an inspiration! I’ve oft looked into becoming a Travel Writer just so I could see some of the things you see…what a joy this part of your life must be! I look forward to the photos of your upcoming trip to Italy. Who knows…we’ve only been married 30 years, maybe #35 or #40 will qualify me for a trip of a lifetime! If so, I will definitely use your travel tips.

  29. Hi Meg,
    I wanted to thank you for stopping by my Blog, Travelwithscott. I am new to WordPress, but not new to blogging. However this WordPress has a learning curve for sure, it’s been fun putting it together. I’ve read a few of your posts and have now bookmarked your blog, I am looking forward to reading more of your experiences.

    thanks again for stopping by.

  33. Hi Meg, thanks a lot for stopping by my blog and the like! You have traveled a LOT! And it’s great to read about it! Your Travel to-do list is so very true, and for me there’s another factor that’s there before ‘have fun’ and after ‘set alarm’ – stress. Haha! Cheers!

    • Hi! I actually have been to Wales once – to Tintern, where I saw the Abbey. I’d definitely like to see Snowdon, but I’d probably take the train as opposed to climbing! And I’m enjoying your trip to France – it sounds like you’re having fun!

  86. Thanks for visiting and liking my blog. After spending 5 months in Oaxaca, Mexico, it has been a challenge for me to become inspired to write about my hometown in Alaska. These two places are almost total opposites. I’m trying to view life here in Alaska through the eyes of a visitor and to look for the things that are interesting for me when I am the traveler. These photo challenges help a lot!
    You have many wonderful photos, and I will take time to look through more of your blog.
    Thanks again.

  87. I’m glad you liked the humorous wood carving. Bears, eagles, and moose seem to be the main subjects for just about every kind of artwork. I know that art often reflects the surroundings of the artist, and I really enjoy art displays of any kind when I am in other towns or countries because it shows me what is important to the people there. But here? Sometimes I think that if I see one more photo, painting, or carving of a cute moose or a bear catching a salmon, I’ll scream!
    So yesterday I saw a moose cow with two calves and of course I stopped to photograph them! Some things never cease to be special, no matter how many times we see them. It’s a funny thing.
