I can’t believe my little buddy is turning four years old!! Happy Birthday Buddy!!
It seems like only yesterday that I picked him up at a Dolphins game… *cue the fade away harp music*
It was December 23, 2012 and the Miami Dolphins had just beat the Buffalo Bills at home in Sun Life Stadium (now known as Hard Rock Stadium). I was ecstatic that we’d won and headed over to the stadium gift shop to see if I could find anything cool to commemorate the event.
And then I saw him- the cute little monkey that would become my travel buddy. Without a second thought, I picked him up and went straight to the register. To say it was love at first sight would be an understatement.
Since that day we’ve traveled to a lot of new cities, countries, and continents. He’s been with me through breakups, moving across the country, and inspired me to start a travel blog.
Below are some of my favorite pictures of Buddy, taken all over the world…
- Bali, Indonesia
- Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, US
- Lake Quilotoa, Ecuador
- Hot air balloon ride over Central Florida, US
- Pike Place Market, Washington, US
- Railay Beach, Thailand
- Angkor Wat, Cambodia
- Stonehenge, England
- Machu Picchu, Peru
