In this photo, I was…On Isla Taboga, a flower-filled island 12 miles by ferry from Panama City, in March 2009.From my last trip, I brought back…A hand-carved djembe drum from Senegal; it makes a great endtable!
My favorite travel-inspiring movie is…Amélie
My best road trip was…Each summer for about five years, my mom, my little sister, and I drove from our home in Boston to our cottage in Michigan; we played Harry Potter books-on-tape and stopped at every Cinnabon along the way
