TRAVEL
I love to travel. And planning a trip is almost as good as taking the trip itself - almost. Being in a totally different environment, trying new things, and finding cute coffee shops are just a few reasons I love to travel.
I share pictures of all of my adventures, and also include travel guides, itineraries, and tips on planning a great trip.
As The Suffers put it in their song Take Me To the Good Times, “I like walking around, it's good for me
Could ya tell me where we could go eat?
Take me to the good times.”
