Welcome

Dubai Marina

Hello there!

I am so excited that you’ve found my journal. I’ve been passionate about geography, travel, world languages, and learning about new cultures all my life, and to that end have been exploring the globe for many years now. This site will focus mainly on my experiences with travel & photography, but I’d also love to share  my other passions – music producing, songwriting, children’s story writing and publishing.

I will share personal stories of the places I’ve lived and visited with my husband Michael and our four young children; of solo travels I’ve done; special couples trips Michael and I have taken; fun, exciting experiences, and as incredulous as this may sound, some near-death experiences. 

Please join me on this journey. My hope is that we can educate and learn from each other about our fascinating world and the folks living in it.

Cheers,

~Sharon Emanuel-Ip
