Travel, eat, repeat.
I have missed a few buses in Spain, accidentally hopped on the scenic train in Belgium, boarded the wrong train in Boston, nearly missed a train to see my fairy tale castle in Germany and even taken a ferry to the wrong island in Holland. I guess my track record isn’t as good as I claim it […]
