Marina V travel blog ❤ #SingerTravelista

As a touring musician, I am very lucky to be able to travel the world. I LOVE traveling!
Nick & I try to take advantage of every tour stop and explore as much as we can, which sometimes means choosing exploring over sleep or rest, but it is so worth it!

I love sharing my experiences with you on social media. I started my own blog to share even more! :)

I hope you enjoy my travel stories, my favorite places, my photos and, occasionally, my favorite food recipes!
