Sandy is chronicling her global adventures with stories, digital photos and video through the website www.OurDistantJourney.com. To date, she has visited 40 countries on six continents. In 2003-2004, she took a four-and-half-month around the world with her husband and children.
Her travel philosophy is to experience the journey ‘authentically’, meaning that she minimizes the use of planes and try to use public transportation whenever feasible. She likes to mix visits to the iconic places in the world with the adventure that keeps travel fresh and exciting.
Sandy believes that, through travel, she is supporting the local economy and encouraging the preservation of the world's special places.
