My last post was on May 1st, in which I announced my decision to take the month of May off of my blog for my birthday. After a much-needed break, I’ve decided to make some changes to my blog for the foreseeable future. The truth is, as much as I love my blog, I have […]
Today is my birthday! Originally, I had planned on doing a juicy post full of bits of wisdom, insights, and travel tidbits that I have learned in my 35 years. However, after much reflection, I’ve decided to give myself one of the best gifts there is in life… That is the gift of time!
