Fun fact: My husband and I love to travel and since we got married in August 2021, we have traveled to 11 countries, including Iceland where we saw an active volcano, Australia and New Zealand which were other-worldly, and a whirlwind Eurotrip of 7 countries, 12 cities in 19 days. (For those counting, Canada is the 11th, but that one is a lot less exciting 😄).
