👋 Hi there, and thanks for Taking Another Route with me! I’m a late-blooming adventurer who discovered a passion for travel and exploration well into my professional career. What started as business trips quickly turned into a lifelong curiosity to explore every corner I could reach—across states, continents, and oceans. My family always saw me as fearless (even if they worried a bit!), and over time, they grew to love the stories I brought home. Eventually, someone said, “You should really share these,” and Take Another Route was born. To date, I’ve traveled to 46 U.S. states and 36 countries, often solo or with my best friend Susan—and now, with my loving partner Urs. Along the way, I discovered that my travel style didn’t fit neatly into one box. That’s why this blog features three types of adventures: 🌍 Long Haul – International journeys rich in culture, history, and wonder. 🧳 Short Haul – Weekend escapes and hidden gems that surprise and delight. ⚓ Drop Anchor – Sailing adventures that take Urs and me to unique, water-bound destinations. Whether you're dreaming, planning, or reminiscing, I hope you find something here that sparks your curiosity. 💬 Let’s connect! I’d love to hear your stories, questions, or feedback.

I’m so glad you’re here! —Thann aka Thannanimal
