Why I Spent My Last Weekend Abroad Traveling Solo 06/22/16
Solo travel can be a scary thought. We are all so dependent on our friends and family to guide us through our lives, that sometimes we lose track of who we actually are and how to be independent. We can jump from one relationship to the next, platonic or not, to identify ourselves and have […]
