Very warm welcome to the forums @Cardsacrosscultures. Super super awesome to have to on here. I find it a very fascinating aspect to be able to travel and meet fellow collectors and do trade and share stories. It is something I think I would also enjoy doing but personal circumstances don’t allow it to happen as much as I would like.
Would be great to really get to know you and also know more about your travel stories and the folks you meet. Looking forward to it and also know a bit more about your collection and what are your interests.
Since you mentioned 2 trips to Europe, we do have a thread with events happening in the EU region, so it may interest you to keep an eye on it. I think the folks updating it do try to keep it as recent as possible.
Welcome again and have a great time interacting with all the lovely people here.
Cheers!
