Music, Movies, and Books
Music...all depending on the song, yet country is high on the list. Books ... I love reading a good book as long as it catches me from the begging, right now I am reading Emma by Jane Austin. Movies...mmm I would love to watch more but sometimes books just seem more interesting, and plus why watch a movie when you can binge watch series 😋
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveling without a plan.
Teach, Learn, Share
Treat everyone with kindness as you would want to be treated and as if you may never see them again. Traveling makes you realize that you meet so many new people and rely on them for such small things and you may never ever get to see them again , they just become a memory. Keep faith through every circumstance!
What I Can Share with Hosts
My culture. My love for the world . My thankfulness for them opening there home to me . I am neat and tidy and always try my absolute best to leave things as I found them. Hopefully they can share some wisdom with me .
