About Me: I probably wouldn’t be a travel junkie today were it not for my globe-trotting grandma, who always returned from her exciting adventures with wonderful photos and an exotic-looking doll for each granddaughter. My first stop when I get back from a trip is her house, to show off photos and souvenirs. She’s still teasing me for not having dared ride a camel in Egypt like she did.

At 94, her travel days are long past, but I know that she can at least vicariously enjoy my travel journals, just as I love reading about other guides’ adventures here at IgoUgo.

More About Truly Malin

I travel because...

I want to know what else is out there.

I love to travel to...

A few examples? Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana ... Bandhavgarh National Park, India ... Arches National Park, UT, USA ... Canyonlands National Park, UT, USA ... Denali National Park and Preserve, AK, USA ... Kenai, AK, USA ... Paris, France ... Khao Lak, Thailand ... Spello, Italy ... Baie Sainte-Catherine, Canada ... San Pedro, Belize ... Santorini, Greece ... Tulum, Mexico ... Arnhem Land, Australia ... Heron Island (Great Barrier Reef), Australia ... Okavango Delta, Botswana

I never forget to pack...

a notebook to take notes ... a list of vegetarian restaurants in the place I'm going ... comfy walking shoes ... an empty bag in case I end up buying more than I can fit in my suitcase and busting a zipper trying to get it shut.

My weirdest travel habit is...

probably the constant scribbling in my notebook. Oh and I occasionally collect pieces of local toilet paper because my mother did that on her first trip out of the USA as a young adult. She couldn't believe how different the toilet paper was in Europe.

It's my dream to travel to...

Madagascar, The Maldives, Sri Lanka, The Seychelles, Shanghai, Portugal, Marrakesh, Russia ... and Bermuda by sailboat, and Mexico by road with a slide-on camper! I'm going to do that once they make ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel mandatory down there.

When I'm not traveling...

...I'm planning my next trip.
