I sometimes meet people who ask or tell me about a place they’ve recently been to or want to go to, and if I perchance don’t know what they’re talking about, a disdainful look is thrown at me. This is often followed by remarks like, “But you say you like to travel, and you don’t know … Continue reading Travel, as you like it
If you haven’t heard, I enjoy packing. Some might even say, I get a little obsessive about it. But that doesn’t mean I’m perfect. If there’s one mistake I’m repeatedly guilty of making while packing, it’s over-doing it. Is this a girl thing? I don’t know.
