My first Post (:
























Hello all! My name is Caitlin D'Amato. I am a junior at Boston Latin Academy. I'm 17 years old and I am obsessed with trying new things. My aunt is a big traveler and has been to all different places such as South Africa, Australia, St. John's, etc. When she has visited these places, she has always brought my sister and I souvenir's from these places. Every time she comes back from a place with a souvenir, I become more curious of the different places she has visited. Since I am going off to college in two years, I wanted to create a blog of all the different places I would like to travel in my life. Then when I arrive back from these places, I can share all my experiences with all of you!

Back in the 8th grade, I had an English teacher, Ms. Marshall. For those of you who attend BLA, you know her. She has a blog allaroundtheworld.com where she blogs about all her different travels. Her blog, along with all my aunt's adventures, has inspired me to create this blog! When I am in college, I plan to study abroad for a semester so I wanted to start my research early of what places I would consider going to. I have always been interested in learning about different cultures and travelling to different places, even if it is a different part of Massachusetts!

In the photos above, I am with my cousin (left) and my sister (right). These pictures were taken about a year and a half apart, the picture of me and my cousin on the left being the older one. These pictures were taken at Revere Beach. Most of my family lives in Revere so it is like a second home to me. The three of us enjoy going on adventures together. This blog will also consist of the places I have traveled to. It will also consist of who I travel with because the people you travel with are extremely important to me. I enjoy sharing my experiences with others. My goal with this blog is to inspire you all to travel and live every moment like it's your last.

And the journey begins.....

  1. Hi Caitlin! I really like the idea of your travel blog, because I also like to travel. Like your aunt, I have an aunt too that travels all the time. I'm also planning on studying abroad in college! So your blog will be amazing if you plan on working on it even after the term ends! I can't wait to see all the things you research. :)

  2. Hey Caitlin :) I need to comment on blogs so I figured I'd choose yours! I think this is an excellent idea for a blog, especially because you can look back at this in a couple of years when you're at college and you've forgotten all the research you've done. Or maybe you wouldn't, I definitely would haha. The point is, I'm really excited to read your blog because it may help me figure out places I want to see as well.
