7 Life Lessons From A 27-Year Old

by Jason

I realize the irony of the title of my post. Reading about life lessons from someone who has (hopefully) only lived about a quarter of their life is ridiculous. However, over the last year of travel I’ve figured out a lot about myself and where I want to go with my life. I wanted to […]

Five Gift Ideas for the more “High” Maintenance Female Traveler
