Hi! My name is Tara, and I'm a humanitarian professional from Canada. To date, I've been to 15 countries (not counting the 3 I've transited through -- Panama, Austria and Germany, though I think I've spent enough time in the Frankfurt airport for it to count!): Canada, USA, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Ireland, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Vatican City, Iceland, Switzerland, Bulgaria, and Greece. As well, I've visited 35 UNESCO world Heritage sites (and two that've been on the tentative list for years) Last adventure: Thessaloniki Current adventure: Bulgaria
