 Danielle. 

Danielle McGhee is the fact finder of the three bloggers. Traveling has always been something that she thoroughly enjoys, having been to various domestic and international locales. One of the best things about visiting these places is finding out the roots of the small or large cities and towns. Her roots grew in very small town that is adjacent to the Blue Ridge Mountains and moved on to college four years ago. Since she has been studying at a university level, her need to explore more and to discover the world around her has only been fueled by seeing her classmates travel around the world.Danielle enjoys frequenting the museums, art galleries and locally owned shops. Paired with an affinity to learn about history since she was a child, her ability to research give her the drive to find the best, quirky and most interesting facts possible. In the future, she has plans to road trip to Savannah, Georgia and cruise the exotic locations of St. Maarten, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas in hopes to unravel the history behind why they are so wonderful. Blogging about traveling is something she is considering a new adventure in her life and she is excited to dive right in and learn more about the country she loves!
