I’m Meg, a working professional with a passion for travel and languages. Juggling traveling with career and family is a challenge, but it leads to some amazing experiences!

If you disagree with these statements, read on, this site is for you!
I believe that best way to experience a place is to get to know its people and appreciate its culture. My style of travel is to maximize personal connections and experience, and minimize cost! Everywhere Awaits is designed to be your travel resource – from reading my experiences in the country to picking up useful phrases in the language training posts!
