Where do you want to go?
What is VickyFlipFlopTravels all about?
My blog totally started out as me and my adventures – I just wanted to share the cool places I was visiting, and where I was going. Now, I like to think of it as a treasure trove for anyone wanting to visit the places I’ve been, to see how to enjoy them from a different angle.
