Goodbye Paris, Hello World (Our European Adventure: Day 10&11)
June 22nd, 2019: It would take a long time for me to ever get used to sleeping in, yawning and looking out the window of my hotel room to see Paris, but with the warm welcome it had given us over the last two days, I looked out at the already sunny city, tipped my… Continue reading

All those goals you’ve been meaning to start pursuing. That something new you’ve been wanting to try. Those chores you’ve been needing to get done. There’s no… Continue reading
