Katie Kroeze, Statesman/Journalism/College Speech teacher- Starbucks "Been there mugs"
1. “Starting in 2012, when my husband and I started traveling. My first mug was New York City where we went on our honeymoon.”
2. “The mugs are a way to remember all of the locations I’ve traveled. When I am drinking my coffee, I choose which mug/place represents my mood.”
3. “In our kitchen. We keep them displayed but can’t keep them all displayed because we have too many now.”
4. “My favorite mug is Boston because it’s my favorite location we have traveled to.”
