I read this great article in The New Yorker about travel and I kept thinking, yes! I totally agree! I had actually just been thinking about travel. I’m 31, and planning my third trip to Europe. I went to Italy at 22 (so yooooung), Spain at 25, and now be”H Austria at 31. Meanwhile many people my age have been …
Hello, all. I’d love if you could share some of your favorite posts with a friend or three. I so enjoy writing and pushing out lots of hopefully good, helpful stuff into the world, but it would mean a lot to me if it reached more people.
