Teach, Learn, Share

share experiences and meaningful conversation/ explore places through travelers eyes, learn about you through your music tastes and interests

I have taken solo trips to China, and twice to Europe all of which were very good for the soul I’m a huge advocate of travelling this way. next trip I want to focus more on small towns/natural landscape and folk traditions
