Or the location of the quaint shop I stumbled upon that had the most unique souvenirs. You get the picture. I like to live in the moment
Greetings virtual travelers! I hope you’re hanging in there with staying home and keeping your families safe. Did you know that the 50th anniversary of Earth Day was celebrated on Wednesday this week? This special holiday recalled how meaningful travel is intricately linked to the health of our environment.
