Traveling isn’t necessarily all fun and games. There are so many amazing parts of travel, and in 2019 I’ve had some pretty fantastic experiences! But there’s always a downside. It’s not all pretty Instagam pictures and highlights reels. There will always be some bad travel moments thrown in with the good ones. In 2017, some… Read More My Worst Travel Moments Of 2019
