“Every journey begins with a single hop.”

For me, it started with moving from state to state as a kid, then hopping into the Air Force, and later hopping across countries for work and for fun. Along the way, I discovered a love for travel, beer, wine, and the stories that connect them all.

“Some stories will be small, some bigger, but all of them are pieces of a journey that keeps unfolding.”

That’s what this blog is about: sharing the hops — the moves, the moments, the glasses raised, and the lessons learned.

I don’t want this space to sound polished or overly professional. I want it to sound like me. Real, curious, sometimes messy, always moving..

So here’s the plan: I’ll keep hopping, and I’ll share the stories with you. Maybe they’ll inspire you to take your own hop — whether that’s a trip across the world or just trying something new around the corner.

Cheers to the first of many Hop Stories. 🍺✈️
