your travels
How I really wish I could hitch a ride in your back pack! I have a spirit inside me that wanted so much to have been as lucky as you have been to be able to travel as freely as you seem to do. I hope that someday I can see 1/10th of what you have seen so far.. Keep on travelin'!!

I have come back from, according to the NHS, the very dangerous NE of Italy!!! The photos are amazing! Can't wait to read more of your adventures. But wanted to wish you a happy birthday very quickly first. Hope you are having an amazing day!
