Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
The question I get most often from people who know how much I travel is “how do you afford that?!” Usually followed by a judgemental “must be nice”, which I hate, but if you’re one of the people who genuinely wants to know how to save hundreds of dollars that can be used to book…
I don’t even know where to begin an annual recap of 2016. It was just a really rough year. I experienced some pretty jarring personal loses this year, that’s cause my life to change in a very noticeable way, but it’s also just been hard year for humanity. We’ve lost a lot of people we…
