19 Years ago today, I put up the first post on The Adventures of Travel Penguin. Travel is sitting on my desk, waiting for the next adventure. Together we have been to nearly every state (he has not been to Oklahoma the last time I was there I was 5 years old) and back and forth across the Atlantic more times than I can count.
For the first decade I stayed in the background, then I became the face and voice of the blog. I am in my 9th year of posting at least once each day, I am looking forward to continuing to do so. The discipline of putting out has improved my writing and storytelling (hard to believe this is the improved version).
